Here's why:
* DNA's Role: DNA contains the genetic instructions for building and maintaining an organism. It resides in the nucleus.
* mRNA's Role: mRNA is a copy of a specific gene from the DNA. It is created through a process called transcription and then travels out of the nucleus to the ribosomes.
* Ribosomes: Ribosomes are the protein synthesis factories of the cell. They use the information carried by mRNA to build proteins.
So, mRNA acts as a messenger, carrying the genetic code from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes where proteins are made.
