Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following provide the instructions for building proteins?
A
Lipids
B
Carbohydrates
C
Proteins
D
Nucleic Acids
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) carries the instructions for making proteins. Like DNA, proteins are polymers: long chains assembled from prefab molecular units, which, in the case of proteins, are amino acids. A large molecular machine* called the ribosome translates the mRNA code and assembles the proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a long molecule that contains our unique genetic code. Like a recipe book it holds the instructions for making all the proteins in our bodies.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer: Translation is the process of converting the language of nucleic acids (nucleotides) to the language of proteins (amino acids). The translation is the process in which the protein strand is produced from the mRNA molecule.
