Messenger RNA (mRNA) takes the instructions, encoded in the DNA of the nucleus, out to the ribosomes which then assemble the amino acids in the correct order to form the appropriate protein.
mRNA
DNA.
The principle molecule that carries out the instructions coded in DNA is messenger RNA (mRNA). It serves as a template for protein synthesis by carrying genetic information from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where proteins are assembled.
Prokaryotic cells have ribosomes that are responsible for protein synthesis. These ribosomes are smaller and structurally different from those found in eukaryotic cells. Ribosomes in prokaryotic cells can be free in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Yes, RNA serves as the messenger molecule that transfers genetic information from DNA in the cell's nucleus to the ribosomes where proteins are synthesized. This process is known as protein synthesis or translation.

mRNA
The molecule responsible for carrying the genetic information from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosome is messenger RNA (mRNA). This process is called transcription and mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and then travels to the ribosome in the cytoplasm where translation occurs.
Ribosomes
hemoglobin
Ribosomes are the cellular machinery responsible for synthesizing proteins. They read the genetic information in messenger RNA (mRNA) and use that information to string together amino acids in the correct order to form a protein molecule. This process occurs in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

translation only
Scientists first believed that proteins carried genetic information, believing they were more structurally complex and diverse than DNA at the time. This idea was known as the "protein first" hypothesis and was later disproved when DNA was discovered to be the molecule responsible for carrying genetic information.
