because the information of the sequence of the protein from the gene has to be transported to ribosomes in cytoplasm somehow. mRNA functions as this "messenger" of the sequence to ribosomes.

Are all three types of RNA coded by the same genes?

There are different types of genes for encoding three types of RNA. Protein coding genes are transcribed by RNA polymerase II to yield mRNA. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) are transcribed by RNA polymerase I. Likewise, transfer RNA (tRNA) are transcribed by polymerase III.


What is the form of RNA that is transcribed from DNA?

A. rRNA Type of RNA molecule transcribed from a DNA template B. codon Sequence of three nucleotides on a messenger RNA molecule C. tRNA RNA component of ribosomes D. anticodon Connects mRNA codon to an amino acid E.mRNA Sequence of three nucleotides on a transfer RNA molecule


What is the molecule transcribed from DNA called?

initially its hrRNA or pre-mRNA. (same thing different name). this then undergoes some modification like splicing, capping and polyadenalation to make mRNA which is then translated into protein.


A chromosome contains many genes that are transcribed into different what?

RNA molecules


What is an asRNA?

An asRNA is an antisense RNA, a single-stranded RNA which is complemenetary to a messenger RNA strand transcribed within a cell.


WHAT IS THE process whereby the message transcribed into messenger RNA is converted to a polypeptide?

Translation


Is transcription the manufacture of a strand of RNA complementary to a strand of DNA?

Yes. The strand of RNA is messenger RNA, mRNA.


A message of the genes of the chromosomes are carried to the ribosomes by?

mRNA (messenger RNA)


What would be the mrna base sequence formed during transcription using the DNA sequence below?

Transcription produces a strand of messenger RNA that is complementary to the DNA that it transcribed. For example, the DNA sequence AGTCGA would be transcribed by messenger RNA as UCAGCU.


Are DNA or RNA made up of genes?

Amost all organisms have genes that are made of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) but there are some kinds of viruses known as retroviruses whose genes are composed of RNA (ribonucleic acid).


What is a messenger DNA?

You're thinking of messenger RNA. It is the transcribed complement of DNA that ultimately gets translated by rRNA and tRNA into a protein.


Which type of molecule is DNA sequences transcribed for protein synthesis?

DNA is transcribed to Messenger RNA (mRNA), and protein coding mRNAs form proteins
