A RNA copy of a DNA gene <--- Gradpoint/NovaNet
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a form of RNA that codes for amino acids.
During transcription a sequence of mRNA is made from a corresponding sequence of DNA. In a eukaryote, the mRNA is then processed and sent outside the nucleus to be translated by a ribosome in the cytoplasm.
As for a prokaryote (which has no nucleus), the mRNA is already in the cytoplasm and just needs to be translated by a ribosome also in the prokaryote's cytoplasm.

What does reverse transcriptase use from DNA?
Reverse transcriptase use mRNA to form DNA. mRNA
Where is the process of making mRNA from DNA called?
DNA to mRNA is transcription, whereas mRNA to tRNA is translation. The latter part is when proteins are made from ribosomes and instructions carried over by mRNA from the DNA.
What is the decoder of mRNA?
There are several things that can be classified as the decoder of mRNA. They include ribonucleotides, uramine, cytosine and more. This mRNA is decoded into a polypeptide chain.
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.
When tRNA copies mRNA it is called what?
mRNA does not copy DNA, intead, mRNA is copied FROM DNR. The process is call translation.
What carry instructions for making proteins?
mRNA
What does reverse transcriptase use from DNA?
Reverse transcriptase use mRNA to form DNA. mRNA
Where is the process of making mRNA from DNA called?
DNA to mRNA is transcription, whereas mRNA to tRNA is translation. The latter part is when proteins are made from ribosomes and instructions carried over by mRNA from the DNA.
What is the scientific term for writing the mRNA message in a cell?
The creation of mRNA is called transcription. mRNA is being transcribed from the DNA template.
What is the order of how a cell changes DNA messages to protein?
DNA -> transcription -> pre-mRNA -> mRNA processing -> mRNA -> translation -> protein
What base does mRNA have that DNA does not?
Uracil replaces Thymine as a base in mRNA.
Does translation involve the formation of mRNA?
No, transcription involves the formation of mRNA.
What is the relationship between chromosome mRNA and proteins?
The mRNA is transcribed into proteins
Mrna is synthesized in translation or transcription?
Transcription
What cells parts does mRNA attach?
The mRNA attaches itself to a ribosome.
Are codons found in mRNA or tRNA?
mRNA is made up of anticodons
What is the stop codon in most molecules of mRNA?
stop codon on mRNA
