Question

Messenger RNA (mRNA) copies the genetic information from DNA in the nucleus and carries it to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where protein synthesis occurs. Therefore, mRNA links the genetic information in the nucleus with the cytoplasmic sites of protein synthesis. The other types of RNA (tRNA, rRNA, and some types of non-coding RNA) are also involved in protein synthesis, but they do not directly link the genetic information in the nucleus to the site of protein synthesis in the same way that mRNA does.
