DNA and RNA Structure

Question 6 • First Semester Biology

What is the role of RNA within the cell?

Answer
A
RNA contains instructions that code for protein synthesis.
B
RNA moves instructions for protein synthesis from the nucleus to ribosomes.
C
RNA is the structural unit that makes up DNA.

Explanation

Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries a copy of genetic instructions from the nucleus to ribosomes, where proteins are made. Therefore, choice B describes RNA’s role most directly. RNA is not a structural unit that makes up DNA; DNA and RNA are distinct nucleic acids.
