Question

Which of the classes of RNA molecules carries the genetic information as it is needed for the construction of a protein?

• A. Ribosomal RNA
• B. Transfer RNA
• C. Messenger RNA
• D. Primary mRNA transcript

Answer 1

The correct option is C Messenger RNA

Transcription is the process of formation of mRNA by DNA where DNA acts as a template and produces its complementary mRNA. Translation is the process of formation of proteins by mRNA. The mRNA carries all the genetic information and according to the coding of mRNA, proteins are produced. The construction and synthesis of proteins are totally dependent upon the sequence and information of mRNA. Each codon of mRNA produced its own proteins.

So, the correct option is 'Messenger RNA'.
