Answer: It acts as the intermediate between the genetic information of DNA and amino acid sequence of protein.
Step-by-step explanation:
The mRNA contains the codons that are complementary to the sequence of the nucleotide on the template strand of the DNA.
Then with the help of the ribosomes and tRNA it directs the formation of amino acids.
It carries the genetic information hence, called as messenger RNA. The molecule of the mRNA is made of single strands of the adenine, cytosine, guanine and uracil kept together by sugar phosphate backbone.
