Answer:

Alternative Titles: mRNA, messenger ribonucleic acid Messenger RNA (mRNA), molecule in cells that carries codes from the DNA in the nucleus to the sites of protein synthesis in the cytoplasm (the ribosomes). The molecule that would eventually become known as mRNA was first described in 1956 by scientists Elliot Volkin and Lazarus Astrachan.

Answer: Messenger RNA

Explanation: Messenger RNA is the single-stranded intermediate molecule that transfers the genetic information from DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where it serves as a template in the formation of polypeptides.

hopefully this answers your question:)
