Template on Which Ribosomes Assemble the Amino Acids That Form

Question

template on which ribosomes assemble the amino acids that form proteins is known as
A)hnRNA
B)messenger RNA
C)ribosomal RNA
D)DNA
E)None of the above

Accepted Answer

The template on which ribosomes assemble amino acids that form proteins is messenger RNA (mRNA). hnRNA (heterogeneous nuclear RNA) is an immature form of RNA that undergoes processing to become mRNA. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a component of the ribosome, which helps in protein synthesis. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) carries genetic information, and it is not directly involved in protein synthesis. Therefore, the correct answer is B - messenger RNA.
