Transcription is the synthesis of RNA under the direction of DNA. The type of RNA used during transcription is the messenger RNA. The mRNA carries a genetic message from the DNA to the protein-synthesizing machinery of the cell. Then, translation is the actual synthesis of a polypeptide, which occurs under the direction of mRNA.

What is mRNA and why is it used instead of another DNA strand?
The mRNA is formed on DNA strand after transcription to carry the specific message to synthesize proteins by ribosomes in the cytoplasm. Since RNA can move from nucleus to the cytoplasm (not DNA), mRNA is used for sending messages to synthesize specific proteins.
Which molecule carries the message from the DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm where the code is translated?
mRNA
Does cytoplasm have its own DNA?
No. The DNA for cytoplasm is in the nucleus of the cell. BUT Some of the organelles in the cell have their own DNA. (Mitochondria are the best example it has a complete set of DNA)
Where can DNA be found in prokaryotic cells?
DNA is found inside prokaryotic cells freely floating in the cytoplasm. It is in long strands bundled in the cell.
How is the genetic transferred from the nucleus into the cytoplasm?
The genetic code is transferred from the nucleus into the cytoplasm by RNA. RNA is used to duplicate the DNA so it doesn't have to leave the nucleus.
RNA that is a copy of DNA message that can enter the cytoplasm?
DNA code is copied to messenger RNA, abbreviated mRNA.
What carries the DNA message out to the cytoplasm?
mRNA
Does DNA synthesize proteins?
DNA does not synthesize proteins. But they code for the message needed for the proteins. DNA transcribe mRNA first in the nucleus and send out to cytoplasm. The protein synthesis machinery in the cytoplasm (ribosome) will synthesize proteins according to the message in mRNA.
RNA that copies the coded message from the DNA in the nucleus and carries the message into the cytoplasm?
Messenger RNA.

What carries a copy of DNA's blueprint into the cytoplasm from the nucleus?
it is mRNA (Memory RNA)
What is RNA describe how it performs its functions?
"Messenger RNA copies the coded message from the DNA in the nucleus, and carries the message to the ribosome in the cytoplasm."
During protein synthesis what carries a copy of DNA's blueprint into the cytoplasm?
I think it is mRNA. Not sure though.

No. The DNA for cytoplasm is in the nucleus of the cell. BUT Some of the organelles in the cell have their own DNA. (Mitochondria are the best example it has a complete set of DNA)
