Question

messenger rna molecules contain information that is used to synthesize

multiple choice

amino acids

fatty acids

nucleotides

polypeptides

Explanation:

Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries genetic information from DNA to ribosomes. At ribosomes, the information in mRNA is used in the process of translation to synthesize polypeptides, which are chains of amino - acids linked by peptide bonds. Amino acids are the building blocks, but mRNA is directly used to synthesize polypeptides. Fatty acids are related to lipid metabolism and not synthesized from mRNA information. Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids like RNA and DNA, not synthesized using mRNA's coding information for proteins.

Answer:

D. polypeptides
