It is an intermediate like mRNA that is needed to copy the information from the genomic DNA so as to be translated into proteins. This is done so that the cell efficiently produces enough proteins.

∙ 13y agoGenetic information needs to be copied from DNA especially during Cell division, or mitosis. In mitosis a cell copies it's original chromosomes and the result is 2 sister chromatids. Once the cell splits the new cell has that copied chromosome, or 2 sister chromatids, and is know free to break down the chromosomes into chromatin, instead of it's original, coiled chromosome.

∙ 12y agoBecause DNA is only a information storage molecule and mRNA is not only in and of itself catalytic it is needed as an intermediary message carrying molecule to carry the DNA message to the site of protein synthesis, the ribosomes.

Which macromolecules are copied and pass genetic informaation to the new cells?
DNA molecules are copied and pass genetic information to the new cells. The process of coping is called replication. Nucleotide is the unit of DNA molecule.
How is information organized in a DNA molecule?
DNA does not actually perform any of the activities it has instructions for
This organelle contain our dna with all our genetic information?
The organelle that contains our DNA with all of our genetic information is the nucleus.
Why is DNA important for living things?
DNA holds the genetic "code" for cells. When cells reproduce the DNA is copied so that each cell carries the same information. It tells the body how to make proteins The DNA tells the order needed.
What DNA is held within the cells nucleus?
Genetic information is stored in the DNA of a cell. The DNA of a cell can be found in the nucleus.
Which macromolecules are copied and pass genetic informaation to the new cells?
DNA molecules are copied and pass genetic information to the new cells. The process of coping is called replication. Nucleotide is the unit of DNA molecule.
Where is genetic information stored and copied?
the nucleus stores all the genetic information (DNA)
What roles do chromosomes play in organisms?
They contain genetic information and is a form of DNA. It is copied during mitosis and meiosis.
What is the process of going from DNA to RNA called?
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.
What is copied before mitosis begins?
DNA, the genetic material, of course. Also mitochondria and chloroplasts need to divide. This is the process of mitosis where two daughter cells are produced and both will need the complete complement of genetic material; DNA.
What is the The genetic code for a particular protein passed from DNA to mRNA by a process known as?
DNA transcription is a process that involves transcribing genetic information from DNA to RNA.The transcribed DNA message, or RNA transcript, is used to produce proteins.The information in DNA is not directly converted into proteins, but must first be copied into RNA. This ensures that the information contained within the DNA does not become damaged.
What Stores and transmits genetic information called?
In a cell, DNA or Deoxiribose Nucleic Acid stores and transmits genetic information.
What is a sentence with genetic information?
Genetic information is in chromosomes found in the DNA.
Purpose of transcription?
The purpose of transcription is to produce a protein with a specific function. DNA is copied into a strand of mRNA and mRNA is read and copied into a protein to carry out some function for the cell. It is the first step in protein synthesis.
How is information organized in a DNA molecule?
DNA does not actually perform any of the activities it has instructions for
How is genetic information stored in a cell?
by the DNA. by the DNA.
This organelle contain our dna with all our genetic information?
The organelle that contains our DNA with all of our genetic information is the nucleus.
