Match the type of RNA on the left with the correct function on the right.
Match the type of RNA on the left with the correct function on the right.
- mRNA
- rRNA
- tRNA
- carries instructions for protein synthesis from the nucleus to the cytoplasm
- carries amino acids to the ribosome and mtches them to the coded mRNA message
- forms an important part of the ribosome
