Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What contains information for making the body’s proteins?
A
Proteins
B
Nucleic Acids
C
Carbohydrates
D
Lipids
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: -DNA’s instructions are used to make proteins in a two-step process. First, enzymes read the information in a DNA molecule and transcribe it into an intermediary molecule called messenger ribonucleic acid, or mRNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleic Acids Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, encodes the information cells need to make proteins. A related type of nucleic acid, called ribonucleic acid (RNA), comes in different molecular forms that play multiple cellular roles, including protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The DNA in the cell nucleus is the information source for making proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -The DNA in the nucleus of a cell is the information source for making proteins.
