Multiple Choice
Which type of RNA functions to use coded instructions to assemble amino acids?

Transfer RNA (tRNA)
B
Small nuclear RNA (snRNA)
C
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
D
Messenger RNA (mRNA)
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of each type of RNA in the process of protein synthesis.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is responsible for carrying the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are synthesized.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) is involved in bringing the correct amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis, but it does not carry the genetic code.
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a component of ribosomes and plays a role in catalyzing protein synthesis, but it does not carry genetic instructions.
Small nuclear RNA (snRNA) is involved in the splicing of pre-mRNA, but it does not carry the genetic code for protein assembly.
