DNA and RNA Structure — Quiz

Question 18 • Biology

What is the role of RNA?

Answer

to move information from the ribosomes to the nucleus for protein synthesis

to break down proteins into amino acid monomers

to move information from the nucleus to the ribosomes for protein synthesis

to provide the original blueprint for protein production

Explanation

Messenger RNA carries a copy of genetic instructions from the nucleus to ribosomes, where those instructions are used to assemble proteins. DNA provides the original blueprint, so C describes DNA rather than RNA’s information-carrying role.
