mRNA is made in a lab through a process called in vitro transcription. This involves using a DNA template and enzymes to synthesize the mRNA molecule. The DNA template is typically a gene of interest that is transcribed into mRNA by RNA polymerase enzyme. The resulting mRNA can then be used for various research purposes, such as studying gene expression or developing vaccines.

MRNA strand is made in the process of what?

mRNA (messenger RNA) is made in the process of transcription, which occurs in the nucleus of a cell. During transcription, the DNA sequence is used as a template to synthesize a complementary mRNA strand. This mRNA molecule then carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm for protein synthesis.


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 statement best compares the base sequence of an mRNA molecule with that of the cDNA made from the mRNA?

The base sequence of cDNA is complementary to the mRNA molecule from which it is synthesized. This means that the cDNA will have the same sequence as the mRNA, except that thymine in DNA is replaced with uracil in RNA.


What is it called when making a protein is made using mRNA?

The production of proteins is called protein synthesis. This is further divided into transcription, which creates mRNA from template DNA, and translation, which uses the code of mRNA to make polypeptides.


What does mRNA carry away from the nucleus?

Basically, mRNA carries a message away from the nucleus. The nucleus says hey, we need these proteins made, and mRNA is made by using RNA polymerase to copy the information on DNA. That mRNA then moves out of the nucleus to a ribosome, where rRNA and tRNA will interact with the mRNA, eventually resulting in the production of a fully functional protein.
