DNA and RNA Structure

Question 7 • 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. So the best answer is that RNA moves instructions for protein synthesis from the nucleus to ribosomes. DNA stores the original instructions, while RNA is not a structural unit of DNA.
