Which statement best describes the role of mrna in protein synthesis? stores the genetic code in the nucleus. splits the dna molecule into two strands. carries an amino acid to the ribosome. copies the genetic code from the dna molecule and carries it to the ribosome.

The mRNA or the messenger RNA plays an important role in the cells. It is responsible for the transmission of genetic information from the DNA and this is sent to the ribosome and in the ribosome, the amino acid sequence is being specified, thus producing gene expression. Therefore, the statement that best explains the role of mRNA in the synthesis of protein is the last statement.

The answer would be abrasion.
