Question: What is the primary function of mRNA in the process of gene expression?

Options:

  1. To carry amino acids to the ribosome
  2. To serve as a template for protein synthesis
  3. To replicate DNA
  4. To form the ribosome

Correct Answer: To serve as a template for protein synthesis

Solution: 

mRNA serves as a template for protein synthesis by carrying the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary function of mRNA in the process of gene expression?
  • Step 1: DNA contains the genetic information needed to make proteins.
  • Step 2: When a gene is expressed, a copy of the DNA is made in the form of mRNA.
  • Step 3: mRNA leaves the nucleus of the cell and travels to the ribosome.
  • Step 4: The ribosome reads the sequence of the mRNA.
  • Step 5: Based on the mRNA sequence, the ribosome assembles amino acids to form a protein.
