DNA codes for protein production. DNA is located in the nucleus while the organelles responsible for protein production (ribosomes) are located in the cytosol. DNA is not able to leave the nucleus so a copy of the gene needed to produce the protein is made using mRNA. The mRNA leaves the nucleus, attaches to a ribosome, and determines which order the amino acids will be brought in by the tRNA to make that protein.

If you are asking why it does it, it is because that is just what the chemicals in DNA do. If you are asking why it is needed it is because if it didn't happen then the RNA wouldn't exist, and if the RNA did not exist then cells could not form amino acids, and if cells couldn't form amino acids then the cell could not create new structures, if it couldn't create new structures then it couldn't build its self or other cells and therefor life would not exist because shortly after the first cell had formed if the RNA had not been made the cell would have died.

It is transcribed to mRNA on the course of Gene expression. From there,the mRNA can make proteins if it is coded with the regulatory sequence,else it may also do their role as RNA! We have to note that not all RNA translate protein.

DNA makes mRNA because DNA is too precious to go out of the cell and is well stored in the nucleus

MRNA strand is made in the process of what?

mRNA is produced during the process of transcription, in which mRNA makes a complimentary copy of the DNA code.


What process and produces mRNA?

The process that produces mRNA is known as transcription. In this process a single DNA strand is used to make a copy of mRNA.


When tRNA copies mRNA it is called what?

mRNA does not copy DNA, intead, mRNA is copied FROM DNR. The process is call translation.


Do mRNA carry information from the RNA to the ribosomes?

Yes. The ribosome moves along the mRNA not the other way around as some say.


What carries a copy of DNA's blueprint into the cytoplasm from the nucleus?

it is mRNA (Memory RNA)


What carries a copy the genetic code from the DNA to the ribosome?

mRNA(messenger RNA)


Why do you have a messenger RNA?

mRNA carries the code that was transcribed from DNA out to the ribosome to form the correct amino acid chain. So, yes, in a way mRNA is a messenger to the ribosomes since DNA cannot leave the nucleus.


What is necessary for transcription?

DNA polymerase is the enzyme that "unzips" the complementary DNA strands allowing mRNA to transcribe, or copy, a section of DNA.
