Which Molecule is Made in the Nucleus but Exits to Function

Question

Which molecule is made in the nucleus but exits to function in the cytoplasm?
A) chromosome
B) protein
C) mRNA
D) gene

Accepted Answer

mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus through the process of transcription, but its main function is to carry genetic information from the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm for protein synthesis. Chromosomes, genes, and proteins are all involved in the expression of genetic information, but they do not exit the nucleus to function in the cytoplasm.
