Nucleic Acids: Types and Properties · Zoology

Messenger RNA functions primarily to:

  1. Structurally build ribosomes alongside rRNA
  2. Carry genetic code from DNA to ribosomes
  3. Shuttle amino acids to the ribosome
  4. Regulate gene expression at the chromatin level
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Carry genetic code from DNA to ribosomes

mRNA carries the genetic information transcribed from DNA to ribosomes, where it serves as the template for protein synthesis.
