What is the function of Messenger RNA (mRNA)?

• Carries DNA's message from the nucleus to the ribosome.

• Synthesizes proteins directly.

• Transports amino acids to the ribosome.

• Replicates DNA strands.

What is the primary function of transfer RNA (tRNA)?

• To carry genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

• To synthesize proteins directly.

• To carry the correct amino acids to the ribosome.

• To replicate DNA strands.

What is the role of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in the cell?

• It makes up part of the ribosome and helps read mRNA messages to assemble proteins.

• It carries amino acids to the ribosome.

• It transcribes DNA into mRNA.

• It breaks down proteins into amino acids.

What is the process called where mRNA is synthesized from DNA?

• Translation

• Replication

• Transcription

• Mutation

Where does mRNA transport occur for protein synthesis?

• Nucleus

• Cytoplasm

• Ribosome

• Mitochondria

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?
