Question

what is the role of rna within the cell? rna contains instructions that code for protein synthesis. rna moves instructions for protein synthesis from the nucleus to ribosomes. rna is the structural unit that makes up dna.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • DNA contains the instructions for protein synthesis. RNA, specifically mRNA (messenger RNA), moves these instructions from the nucleus (where DNA is located) to the ribosomes (the site of protein synthesis).
  • RNA is not the structural unit of DNA. DNA is made of nucleotides, and while RNA is also made of nucleotides, they have different components (e.g., RNA has ribose sugar, DNA has deoxyribose sugar).

Answer:

RNA moves instructions for protein synthesis from the nucleus to ribosomes.
