Which term refers to the final form of RNA that is ready for translation?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the specific term used to describe the final processed form of RNA that is prepared for the process of translation in protein synthesis. The options provided include different types of RNA, and we have to identify which one is the correct final form.
Answer
Messenger RNA (mRNA).
The final form of RNA that is ready for translation is called messenger RNA (mRNA).
Answer for screen readers
The final form of RNA that is ready for translation is called messenger RNA (mRNA).
More Information
Before becoming mature mRNA, the RNA transcript undergoes processing including splicing, capping, and polyadenylation. Once processed, mRNA can leave the nucleus and serve as a template for protein synthesis.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing mRNA with its precursor or other types of RNA, such as tRNA or rRNA, which are involved in but not synonymous with translation.
