Which type of RNA contains the codons?

• mRNA

In order for DNA instructions to move from the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm of a cell, an RNA copy of a DNA strand must be made. This process, which takes place in the cell nucleus, is called

• translation
• mutation
• DNA replication
• transcription
