DNA and RNA Structure

Question 2 • 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 the cell uses them to build proteins. DNA stores the original instructions, so choice A does not describe RNA’s main role here, and RNA is not a structural unit of DNA as choice C claims.
