Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary function of mRNA?
  • Step 1: Understand that mRNA stands for messenger RNA.
  • Step 2: Know that DNA contains the genetic instructions for making proteins.
  • Step 3: Realize that mRNA is created from DNA in a process called transcription.
  • Step 4: Learn that mRNA carries the genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
  • Step 5: Recognize that ribosomes are the sites where proteins are made.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the primary function of mRNA is to provide the instructions for assembling amino acids into proteins.
