mRNA is formed through transcription in the nucleus of the cell, copied off of the DNA (with RNA bases). It's role is to instruct the ribosome on how to build the protein. The ribosome takes the mRNA and reads it 3 bases at a time. tRNA is then sent to get the amino acid that corresponds with the base triplet. The tRNA then takes the amino acid back to the ribosome to be put together with the one ahead of it to make a protein.

It is "transcribed" from DNA in the nucleus and "translated" into proteins in the ribosomes.

It helps ribosomes make protein.

Check your test book, I am sure that it is in there.
