Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The molecular sequence, or blueprint for a protein, is originally carried by which molecule?
A
ATP
B
DNA
C
rRNA
D
tRNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The majority of genes carried in a cell’s DNA specify the amino acid sequence of proteins; the RNA molecules that are copied from these genes (which ultimately direct the synthesis of proteins) are called messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA is called the blueprint of life because it contains the instructions needed for an organism to grow, develop, survive and reproduce. DNA does this by controlling protein synthesis. proteins do most of the work in cells, and are the basic unit of structure and function in the cells of organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of building a protein is called transcription. Building proteins is very much like building a house: The master blueprint is DNA, which contains all the information to build the new protein (house). The working copy of the master blueprint is called messenger RNA (mRNA), which is copied from DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -(Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.)
