Which nucleic acid provides the master code for protein synthesis?
The nucleic acid that provides the master code for protein synthesis is DNA. DNA cannot leave the nucleus of the cell, so your cells create mRNA using the DNA pattern, and mRNA carries the instructions for protein synthesis outside of the nucleus. However, DNA holds the original codes.
