DNA and RNA Structure

Question 7 • First Semester Biology

What is the role of RNA?

Answer
t
to provide the original blueprint for protein production
t
to move information from the ribosomes to the nucleus for protein synthesis
t
to break down proteins into amino acid monomers
t
to move information from the nucleus to the ribosomes for protein synthesis

Explanation

Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries a copy of genetic instructions from the nucleus to ribosomes, where those instructions are used to build a protein. The nucleus contains the original DNA blueprint, so RNA does not provide the original blueprint or carry information back from ribosomes to the nucleus. Therefore, the correct choice is “to move information from the nucleus to the ribosomes for protein synthesis.”
