Is phosphoric acid present in mRNA?

No, phosphoric acid is not present in mRNA. mRNA, or messenger RNA, is a type of RNA molecule that carries genetic information from the DNA in the cell's nucleus to the cytoplasm where proteins are synthesized. Phosphoric acid is involved in the structure of DNA, but not mRNA.

What is the function of the cap and tail on eukaryotic mRNA?

The cap and tail on eukaryotic mRNA play important roles in mRNA stability and translation. The 5' cap protects the mRNA from degradation and helps in the initiation of translation. The poly(A) tail at the 3' end of mRNA also plays a role in mRNA stability and regulation of translation.

Yes, cDNA is complementary to mRNA.


What does the mRNA contain?

pre mRNA contains the same things as mRNA - phosphates -uracil, adenine, guanine, cytosine -ribose sugar -hydrogen bonds -covalent bonds -GTP cap -Poly A tail However, pre mRNA is different because it still contains introns and exons, while mRNA only contains exons introns code for things which are no longer expressed as traits, and therefore are not translated, they are instead removed by splicesomes exons code for the traits expressed and therefore are not removed and are expressed
