Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is mRNA?
A
This type of RNA carries amino acids to the ribosome
B
This type of RNA is used as a messenger, in the shape of a straight strand, contains codons, matches up with anticodons
C
This type of RNA is found in the ribosomes
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Messenger RNA (abbreviated mRNA) is a type of single-stranded RNA involved in protein synthesis. mRNA is made from a DNA template during the process of transcription.

Detailed explanation-2: -A type of RNA found in cells. mRNA molecules carry the genetic information needed to make proteins. They carry the information from the DNA in the nucleus of the cell to the cytoplasm where the proteins are made. Also called messenger RNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is the messenger RNA codon that carries the message specifying a certain amino acid; it is the transfer RNA that transfers that amino acid to the growing protein chain. • The tRNA anticodon is a sequence of three nucleotides that are the complement of the three nucleotides in the mRNA codon.

Detailed explanation-4: -mRNA is a genetic material that instructs our cells to produce proteins. The mRNA in the vaccine is wrapped in a layer of fat particles that protect it and help it get taken up by specialized cells of the immune system called dendritic cells.
