Question: What is the primary function of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Options:

  1. To transport amino acids
  2. To carry genetic information from DNA
  3. To form the ribosome structure
  4. To catalyze peptide bond formation

Correct Answer: To carry genetic information from DNA

Solution: 

mRNA carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary function of mRNA in protein synthesis?
  • Step 1: DNA contains the genetic information needed to make proteins.
  • Step 2: mRNA (messenger RNA) is created from the DNA in a process called transcription.
  • Step 3: The mRNA carries the genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosome in the cytoplasm.
  • Step 4: The ribosome reads the information on the mRNA to assemble amino acids in the correct order to form a protein.
  • Step 5: This process of using mRNA to make proteins is called translation.
