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 carries a copy of genetic instructions from DNA in the nucleus to ribosomes, where proteins are made. This makes B, “RNA moves instructions for protein synthesis from the nucleus to ribosomes,” the best answer. RNA is involved in carrying and using instructions; it is not a structural unit that makes up DNA.
