Which Type(s)of RNA Molecules are Involved in the Translation Process

Question

Which type(s)of RNA molecules are involved in the translation process?
A) mRNA
B) tRNA
C) rRNA
D) mRNA and tRNA
E) All of these

Accepted Answer

All of these types of RNA molecules are involved in the translation process. mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome, where translation occurs. tRNA (transfer RNA) brings the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome to be added to the growing polypeptide chain. rRNA (ribosomal RNA) is a component of ribosomes, which are the sites of protein synthesis.
