Are there three bases on the mRNA called codons?

All mRNA and DNA sets of three are codons, and rRNA is anti-codons.


How are the mRNA bases put into the correct order?

mRNA bases are put into the correct order during a process called transcription. Enzymes called RNA polymerases transcribe the DNA template into mRNA by matching complementary bases (A with U, G with C) to ensure the correct sequence. This process is essential for making a functional mRNA that can be used to produce proteins.


Why does mRNA have unequal proportions of Nitrogenous bases?

The unequal proportions of nitrogenous bases in mRNA are due to the process of transcription, where only one of the DNA strands serves as a template for RNA synthesis. This results in the complementary base pairing with some bases being more prevalent than others in the mRNA molecule. Additionally, post-transcriptional modifications like capping and polyadenylation can also influence the base composition of mRNA.

How is dna made into mRNA?

DNA is not made into mRNA, it is transcribed by mRNA. The DNA molecule is split into two strands by the enzyme helicase. One strand is the sense strand and the other is the anti-sense strand. Then mRNA nucleotides pair with their complimentary DNA bases on the antisense strand. The enzyme RNA polymerase causes the mRNA nucleotides to bond with one another, forming a strand of mRNA.
