Q1
What is the primary role of mRNA in translation?
  1. To catalyze peptide bond formation
  2. To carry genetic information from DNA to ribosomes
  3. To transport amino acids to the ribosome
  4. To regulate gene expression

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary role of mRNA in translation?
  • Step 1: Understand that mRNA stands for messenger RNA.
  • Step 2: Know that mRNA is made from DNA during a process called transcription.
  • Step 3: Realize that mRNA carries the genetic instructions from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
  • Step 4: Recognize that ribosomes are the sites where proteins are made, and this process is called translation.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the primary role of mRNA in translation is to provide the instructions needed to build proteins.
