It is important in the process of protein synthesis because mRNA is responsible for transferring genetic information from DNA to ribosomes, which then decodes the genetic information into a protein. Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule that is complementary to a gene’s DNA.
