1. Messenger RNA (mRNA): mRNA carries the genetic code from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where protein synthesis takes place. It acts as a blueprint for the amino acid sequence of the protein.
2. Transfer RNA (tRNA): tRNA molecules act as "adapters," carrying specific amino acids to the ribosome and matching them to the corresponding codons on the mRNA. They ensure the correct amino acids are added to the growing polypeptide chain.
