Answer:

mRNA

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three types of ribonucleic acid (RNA) viz: messenger RNA, ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA). These three RNA types function differently from one another. mRNA is a type of RNA that conveys genetic information that was previously stored in DNA into the ribosome for translation i.e. synthesis of amino sequence.

In other words, mRNA acts as a temporary copy of DNA's instructions and provides details on how to assemble a polypeptide chain using the amino acid sequence that arise from translating it in the ribosomes.
