Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonstructural genes encode for tRNA and rRNA, which are involved in protein synthesis but are not translated themselves. Messenger RNA, on the other hand, is a structural gene that is translated into protein. Option A and B are incorrect as they both refer to products of nonstructural genes that are never translated. Option E is incorrect as mRNA is a structural gene that is translated, while rRNA is a product of nonstructural genes that is not translated.
