Question

rna is used in the process of translation to build proteins. which of these statements does not correctly describe the role of the different types of rna in protein synthesis?
trna carries amino acids to ribosome.
rrna makes up the ribosome.
trna carries nucleotides to the ribosome.
mrna copies the genetic code from dna and carries it to the ribosome.
mrna code is read to determine the sequence of amino acids in the protein.

Explanation:

Transfer - RNA (tRNA) carries amino - acids to the ribosome, not nucleotides. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a component of the ribosome. Messenger RNA (mRNA) copies the genetic code from DNA and is read to determine the amino - acid sequence in a protein.

Answer:

C. tRNA carries nucleotides to the ribosome.
