Here's why:
* mRNA (messenger RNA): This type of RNA is a copy of a gene's DNA sequence. It contains the instructions for building a specific protein.
* Ribosomes: These are cellular organelles responsible for protein synthesis. They read the mRNA sequence and use it as a blueprint to assemble amino acids into a protein chain.
So, mRNA acts as a messenger, traveling from the nucleus (where DNA is stored) to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, delivering the instructions for protein production.
