DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
DNA molecules stay in the nucleus; RNA molecules leave the nucleus and move through the cytoplasm to the ribosomes.
A
true
B
false
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eukaryotic DNA never leaves the nucleus; instead, it’s transcribed (copied) into RNA molecules, which may then travel out of the nucleus. In the cytosol, some RNAs associate with structures called ribosomes, where they direct synthesis of proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Since DNA molecules can’t leave the nucleus, the synthesis of RNA has to occur in the nucleus. On the other hand, proteins are synthesized in the cytosol and rough endoplasmic reticulum through translation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: Genetic Information Is transferred from the nucleus to the cytoplasm through RNA (Ribonucleic acid).

Detailed explanation-4: -The type of RNA that contains the information for making a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA) because it carries the information, or message, from the DNA out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm. Translation, the second step in getting from a gene to a protein, takes place in the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-5: -messenger RNA (mRNA), molecule in cells that carries codes from the DNA in the nucleus to the sites of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm (the ribosomes).
