mRNA functions as a messenger from the original DNA helix in the 'nucleus' (transcription), and is then transported to the 'cytoplasm' where the information in the mRNA is translated (translation) into a sequence of amino acids making up a polypeptide.
The messenger RNA strand is found in the ribosome during protein synthesis. The ribosome is the general site of protein synthesis.
the ribosome
nucleus in the ribosomes
It occurs in the lysosome(s) of a cell to digest food substances.
No. protein synthesis occurs in the ribosome. The ribosome receives the mRNA from the nucleus (code for amino acids) which directs the assembly of the chain of amino acids, but the nucleus is not directly responsible for the creation of the protein. Also, the ribosome isa separate organelle, even if it is attached to the nucleus while assembling the protein chain.
Ribosomes
Usually on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
