Step-by-step explanation:

mRNA (messenger RNA): Produced during transcription. Carries the genetic instructions of a gene from the nucleus to the ribosome in the cytoplasm.

rRNA (ribosomal RNA): Together with proteins, composes the ribosome, the organelles that are the site of protein synthesis.

tRNA (transfer RNA): Brings the correct amino acid to the ribosome during translation.
