Answer:

Essentially mRNA acts as the middle man between genetic information in DNA and the amino acid sequence of proteins.

Step-by-step explanation:

messenger RNA has codons that are complementary to the sequence of nucleotides on the template DNA, which the mRNA is translating. These codons then direct the formation of amino acids through the action of ribosomes and tRNA to create proteins based on the specific DNA code translated.
