Question

What is the role of RNA?

a.to provide the original blueprint for protein production
b.to move information from the ribosomes to the nucleus for protein synthesis
c.to break down proteins into amino acid monomers
d.to move information from the nucleus to the ribosomes for protein synthesis

Answer 1

The correct answer is D.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is D) To move information from the nucleus to the ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Transcription ( formation of mRNA from DNA) takes place in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. mRNA transcript produced in this process moves to ribosomes ( specialised organelle for protein synthesis that is present in the cytoplasm of the cell).

Thus, genetic information from nucleus is transported to ribosomes in the form of mRNA that is finally utilized in the synthesis of proteins ( translation).

Therefore, D) is the right option that depicts the role of RNA.
