Genetic Code

Question 7 • Fall 24 GSE Biology A IC

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. Choice B describes this role. RNA is involved in coding for protein synthesis, but choice A is less specific; RNA is not a structural unit of DNA, as choice C claims.
