Which statement correctly describes why RNA is necessary in the process of protein synthesis?
DNA is unable to leave the nucleus, and a middle "messenger" is needed
tRNA brings the amino acids to the ribosome during translation
rRNA makes up critical components of the ribosome
It serves as a back up copy in the event that something happens to DNA
