RNA is neither. It is a protein used in the replication process of cells.
The process that is used to create DNA from an RNA template is called reverse transcription (commonly found in retroviral infection). The enzyme that aids in this process is called reverse transcriptase.
An alternative RNA splicing is a process by which the exons of the RNA produced by the transcription of a gene are reconnected in multiple ways during RNA splicing, so as to allow production of multiple forms of protein from one gene.
RNA splicing
The process of making an RNA strand from a DNA copy is called transcription.A difference between RNA and DNA is that RNA uses Uracil instead of Thymine.Complimentary Base Pairs:DNA RNAT --------- AA --------- UC --------- GG --------- C
Ribosomal RNA, Transfer RNA, and Messenger RNA
In the process of transcription, DNA is used as a blueprint to make m-RNA which codes for a specific protein.
The process of assembling a protein from RNA (specially the messenger RNA or mRNA) is called translation and occurs in the ribosomes.
rna protein chains
The process of producing a protein product from a messenger RNA (mRNA) is called transcription. This occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell, and typically at the rough ER.
Transcription.During transcription the base sequence (genetic code) of part (a gene) of one strand of DNA is copied onto a strand of RNA as the RNA is synthesized.
The process is called transcription. RNA polymerase enzyme will synthesize RNA (mRNA) from DNA sequences and this is the first step in gene expression.
