Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Which type of RNA brings the information in the genetic code from the nucleus to other parts of the cell?

A	rRNA
B	tRNA
C	mRNA
D	RNA polymerase

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -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).

Detailed explanation-3: -mRNA carries genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm of a cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the genetic code from DNA in a form that can be recognized to make proteins. The coding sequence of the mRNA determines the amino acid sequence in the protein produced.

Detailed explanation-5: -Messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed in the nucleus on the 3’ coding (antisense) strand of the DNA in the process of transcription?. Each piece of mRNA transcribed codes for a specific polypeptide.
