Which three statements correctly describe the roles of RNA molecules in the process of transcription and translation in animal cells?
A
Transfer RNA molecules carry the appropriate amino acid to the growing polypeptide.
B
Messenger RNA molecules carry genetic information from the gene in the nucleus to the ribosome in the cytoplasm
C
Small RNA molecules in the RNA polymerase catalyze the formation of phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides in the growing messenger RNA.
D
Ribosomal RNA molecules function in the assembly of the ribosome-mRNA complex and in the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids in the growing polypeptide.
E
Genomic RNA molecules store genetic information and transmit it to an individual’s offspring.
B, D, and A are the correct statements.
B - Messenger RNA molecules carry genetic information from the gene in the nucleus to the ribosome in the cytoplasm.
D - Ribosomal RNA molecules function in the assembly of the ribosome-mRNA complex and in the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids in the growing polypeptide.
A - Transfer RNA molecules carry the appropriate amino acid to the growing polypeptide.
