Question

The function of mRNA is to

• A. Provide specific binding sites for a series of specific t-RNA molecules
• B. Hold a group of ribosomes together
• C. Transfer the genetic code to ribosomal RNA
• D. Transfer the genetic code to DNA

Answer 1

The correct option is A Provide specific binding sites for a series of specific t-RNA molecules

Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the genetic information copied from DNA in the form of a series of three-base codons each of which specifies a particular amino acid. Transfer RNA (tRNA) identifies the codon on the mRNA and calls for the specific amino acid and synthesise the polypeptide chain.

So, the correct option is 'Provide specific binding sites for a series of specific t-RNA molecules'
