Final answer:
The correct statement about mRNA is that it moves from the nucleus to the cytoplasm following RNA processing, and it does not bind directly to amino acids or get transcribed in the cytoplasm.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer regarding mRNA is that mRNA moves from the nucleus to the cytoplasm following RNA processing. To clarify, mRNA is a single-stranded transcript of DNA that is synthesized in the nucleus during the process called transcription. After RNA processing, the mature mRNA is transported out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm where it undergoes translation, a process that synthesizes proteins.
mRNA does not bind directly to amino acids; that is the function of tRNA (transfer RNA) which transfers specific amino acids to a growing polypeptide chain during translation. Likewise, mRNA is not transcribed from DNA in the cytoplasm; it must first move from the nucleus to the cytoplasm after being transcribed from DNA in the nucleus.
