What molecule links DNA and proteins?
mRNA
tRNA

mRNA (messenger RNA) is the molecule that bridges the gap between DNA and proteins. It carries genetic information from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where proteins are synthesized. mRNA acts as a template for protein synthesis, ensuring that the correct amino acids are assembled in the correct order to form the desired protein.
