Expert Solution
Step 1

mRNA, or messenger RNA, is a type of RNA molecule that plays a central role in the process of protein synthesis in cells. It acts as an intermediary between DNA, which contains the genetic information, and ribosomes, which are the molecular machines responsible for synthesizing proteins.
