Which is NOT a role played by a type of RNA in protein synthesis?

O mRNA transcribes the DNA template.
rRNA makes up ribosomes, which translate the genetic code into a protein.
O tRNA pairs RNA bases with amino acids.
O pRNA is the product of chemically linked amino acids.​

Answer:

pRNA is the product of chemically linked amino acids.​

Step-by-step explanation:

All the other choices are exactly the roles of RNA in protein synthesis: mRNA "messenger" RNA transcribes the DNA and travels out of the nucleus; then rRNA "ribosomal" RNA in the ribosome helps assemble the protein using the mRNA; tRNA "transfer" RNA brings amino acids to the assembly line of ribosome and mRNA.

There is no pRNA that I know of, although there are many types of other RNAs like piRNAs (piwi RNAs!) or siRNAs.
