Question

identify the role of the following three types of rna: (image with mrna, rrna, trna boxes and role options: brings amino acids to the site of protein synthesis, binds with proteins to form the ribosome, carries the genetic code from dna to produce an amino acid chain)

Explanation:

• mRNA (Messenger RNA): Carries the genetic code from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosome in the cytoplasm to direct the synthesis of an amino acid chain (protein). So its role is "Carries the genetic code from DNA to produce an amino acid chain".
• rRNA (Ribosomal RNA): Associates with proteins to form the ribosome, which is the site of protein synthesis. So its role is "Binds with proteins to form the ribosome".
• tRNA (Transfer RNA): Transfers (brings) specific amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis, matching the codons on mRNA. So its role is "Brings amino acids to the site of protein synthesis".

Answer:

• mRNA: Carries the genetic code from DNA to produce an amino acid chain
• rRNA: Binds with proteins to form the ribosome
• tRNA: Brings amino acids to the site of protein synthesis
