question 25 of 25
which phrase correctly identifies the role of mrna?
a. transcribing the genetic code into a carbohydrate sequence
b. carrying the genetic code from dna to the cytoplasm for translation
c. carrying amino acids to the site of protein synthesis
d. translating the rrna into a specific amino acid sequence

Explanation:

mRNA (messenger RNA) is synthesized from DNA in the nucleus. It then moves to the cytoplasm where it serves as a template for protein synthesis (translation). Option A is incorrect as mRNA is related to nucleic acid (not carbohydrate) sequences. Option C is the role of tRNA (transfer RNA). Option D is incorrect as mRNA is translated (not rRNA) to form amino - acid sequences.

Answer:

B. Carrying the genetic code from DNA to the cytoplasm for translation
