Which of the following correctly matches the type of RNA with its primary function?
A
tRNA - Synthesizes proteins by linking amino acids
B
rRNA - Transports amino acids to the ribosome
C
snRNA - Forms the core of ribosome's structure
D
mRNA - Carries genetic information from DNA to ribosomes
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the primary functions of different types of RNA: mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, and snRNA.
mRNA (messenger RNA) carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes, where proteins are synthesized.
tRNA (transfer RNA) is responsible for transporting amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
rRNA (ribosomal RNA) forms the core structural and functional components of the ribosome.
snRNA (small nuclear RNA) is involved in the splicing of pre-mRNA in the nucleus, not in forming the ribosome's structure.
