Question

what is the role of mrna in protein synthesis? o it stays within the nucleus and serves as the template for transcription. o it carries the genetic code from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. o it opens the dna helix and reads the bases from one strand of dna. o it binds free amino acids and delivers them to the ribosome to be added to a growing protein chain.

Explanation:

mRNA (messenger RNA) is transcribed from DNA in the nucleus and then travels to the cytoplasm to carry the genetic - code for protein synthesis. It serves as a template for protein production at the ribosomes.

Answer:

It carries the genetic code from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
