Question

DNA, in the nucleus carries the genetic code for making proteins in ribosomes. In the diagram, B, represents the proteins produced. DNA cannot leave the nucleus to carry the genetic information to the ribosome where proteins are produced. How does the genetic code get from the nucleus to the ribosome? What does A represent?
Responses
A RNARNA
B chromosomeschromosomes
C ribosomeribosome
D translationtranslation

The correct answer is A. RNA. RNA is a molecule that is synthesized from DNA in the nucleus and carries the genetic information to the ribosome, where proteins are produced in a process called translation. So, A represents RNA.
