1. What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?2. How does the function of mRNA differ from that of rRNA?
5. Information transmitted by mRNA needs to be short-lived so that the cell can maintain
regulatory checks and balances. On the other hand, the structure of DNA must be stable. How
does the difference in structure make mRNA less stable than DNA?
