Answer:

It prevents the cell from passing on those defects to other cells through DNA replication in cell division. By self destructing before it gets the chance to divide, whatever problem the cell had ends right there and doesn't propagate in the organism.

Which RNA molecule is involved in translating a short sequence of RNA into an amino acid, acting like a molecular Rosetta stone?

oee [108]

Given what we know about the translation process, we can confirm that the RNA in question that aids in the process of translating a short sequence of RNA into an amino acid is mRNA.

mRNA is referred to as messenger RNA. This RNA molecule acts as just that, a messenger carrying the necessary code to create amino acids and therefore, proteins. This messenger binds itself to the ribosomes of a cell, which are in charge of reading the code, one codon at a time, and chaining together the corresponding amino acids.
