Q: What is the function of messenger RNA (mRNA)?
Solution:
Messenger RNA (mRNA) serves as the template that carries genetic information from DNA to ribosomes for protein synthesis.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that DNA is the genetic material in cells that contains instructions for making proteins.
Step 2: Realize that proteins are made in a part of the cell called the ribosome.
Step 3: Know that mRNA is a type of RNA that is created from DNA when a gene is expressed.
Step 4: Learn that mRNA carries the genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
Step 5: Understand that the ribosomes read the information on the mRNA to assemble amino acids in the correct order to form a protein.
