Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which type of RNA delivers the genetic code to the ribosome?
A
tRNA
B
mRNA
C
rRNA
D
tmRtmRNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -tRNAs (transfer RNAs) carry amino acids to the ribosome. They act as “bridges, ” matching a codon in an mRNA with the amino acid it codes for.

Detailed explanation-3: -Messenger RNA (mRNA) Messenger RNA is a large family of RNA molecules that are complimentary to DNA molecules and convey genetic information from the DNA to be translated by ribosomes into proteins (Brenner et al., 1961). mRNAs, like DNA, are nucleic acids that contain a specific sequence of nucleotides.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -The tRNA “reads” the mRNA codon by using its own anticodon. The actual “reading” is done by matching the base pairs through hydrogen bonding following the base pairing principle. Each codon is “read” by various tRNA’s until the appropriate match of the anticodon with the codon occurs.
