Type of nucleic acid that acts to carry genetic sequence information between DNA and ribosomes, directing protein synthesis.
A
DNA
B
RNA
C
Nitrogenous Base
D
Messenger RNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The role of mRNA is to carry protein information from the DNA in a cell’s nucleus to the cell’s cytoplasm (watery interior), where the protein-making machinery reads the mRNA sequence and translates each three-base codon into its corresponding amino acid in a growing protein chain.

Detailed explanation-2: -RNA has three main roles in the cell: It carries the instructions from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes where proteins are made in the cytoplasm of the cell. RNA picks up specific amino acids from the cytoplasm of the cell and delivers them to the ribosomes where protein synthesis takes place.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleic acids, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), carry genetic information which is read in cells to make the RNA and proteins by which living things function. The well-known structure of the DNA double helix allows this information to be copied and passed on to the next generation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The nucleic acid molecule that allows the transmission of genetic material and protein synthesis is called messenger RNA. This messenger RNA serves as an intermediate for protein synthesis because the DNA is protected in the nucleus.
