  • Question
  • Which describes how mRNA is used by a cell?


  • Options
  • A. It is used to move information to other cells.
  • B. It is used to check DNA for mutations.
  • C. It is used to replicate DNA for mitosis.
  • D. It is used to transfer genetic information.

  • Correct Answer
  • It is used to transfer genetic information. 

    Explanation

    A RNA copy of a DNA gene is called as messenger RNA or mRNA. mRna is used in translation because information is translated from one language (nucleotides) into another (amino acids).

     

    Hence, mRNA is used to transfer genetic information by a cell.
