Answer:

mRNA: Carry genetic information from DNA to protein; serve as template for protein synthesis.

tRNA: Serves as adapter molecule and deliver specific amino acid from the cell pool to the mRNA-ribosome complex.

rRNA: Structural component of ribosomes.

Explanation:

There are three types of nongenetic RNAs: mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA.  

1. The messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed by the process of transcription in the nucleus. Transcription uses template strand of DNA to specify the nucleotide sequence in mRNA. The mRNA enters cytoplasm to join ribosomes. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA serves as a template and specifies the amino acid sequence of proteins.  

2. The transfer RNA (tRNA) serves as an adapter molecule during the process of protein synthesis and binds to the specific amino acids to deliver them to the protein-synthesizing machinery. The anticodon of tRNA binds to the complementary mRNA codons.  

3. The ribosomal RNA (rRNA) serves as structural components for ribosomes. Each of the subunits of ribosomes is made up of rRNA and proteins.

Which of these is a function of the xylem?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
The xylem is the structure of the plant that is responsible for transporting water from the ground up to the different parts of the plant. It is composed water, inorganic ions, and a number of organic chemicals.  
<span>
Xylem tissue is found throughout the plant because not only does it transport water, but it also transports the nutrients that the plant needs for different processes. Aside from being responsible for the transportation of materials, the xylem is also used to replace water that was lost during photosynthesis and transpiration. </span>
