Question

question 8 of 10
which molecule carries the instructions for producing mrna?
a. dna polymerase
b. rna polymerase
c. dna
d. trna

Explanation:

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) contains the genetic information. During transcription, RNA polymerase uses DNA as a template to synthesize mRNA (messenger RNA). DNA polymerase is involved in DNA replication. tRNA (transfer RNA) is involved in translation (protein synthesis) and carries amino acids. So, the molecule that carries the instructions for producing mRNA is DNA.

Answer:

C. DNA
