The type of RNA that carries information from DNA to the ribosome in a cell is called messenger RNA (mRNA).

Here's a breakdown:

* DNA contains the genetic instructions for building and maintaining an organism.

* mRNA acts as a messenger, carrying these instructions from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

* Ribosomes are the protein-making factories of the cell. They use the instructions carried by mRNA to create proteins.

So, mRNA is essentially the intermediary that translates the genetic code from DNA into proteins.
