Hello everyone here we have a question asking us which of the following functions of M. R. N. A is incorrect. A. M. RNA molecules combined with proteins to form ribosomes. This is incorrect. Our RNA molecules combined with proteins to form ribosomes and these are the sites of protein synthesis in the cell. So A. Is incorrect. B. M. RNA carries the amino acids to the rib zones which have to be added to the polyp peptide chain. M RNA does not carry amino acids to the ribosomes. M RNA carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes where it is translated into a protein. This would be T. R. N. A. So B is incorrect. C. M. RNA carries the code ons for translation process. This is correct. So our answer as to which of the following are incorrect is D. Both A. And B. Thank you for watching. Bye.
