Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA molecules participate in protein synthesis by providing the template for the synthesis of proteins.

Answer: E
 RNA molecules synthesize subunits that will be assembled into two-part ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

Answer: H
 RNA molecules encode hereditary information in the form of nucleotide sequences.

Note: None of the other options describe the functions of RNA molecules accurately.
