What types of RNA are involved in DNA transcription and translation?

RNA (specifically mRNA in eukaryotes) serves as the template that the ribosomes read in order to make the protein. Each amino acid is encoded by three bases of RNA (called a codon). tRNA molecules in the cell bind to the amino acids - a specific tRNA for each amino acid. The tRNA molecules recognise the codons and bind to them thus presenting the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome for he generation of the new protein.
There is actually another class of RNA that is now known to be inolved in translation in mammals called microRNA (microRNAs exist in most if not all eukaryotes, but their function differs slightly). In mammals, microRNAs bind to mRNAs and prevent them from being translated. This is a post-transcriptional control of translation.

Which nucleic acid molecules are involved in transcription but NOT translation in the synthesis of a particular polypeptide?
DNA
The copying of the DNA code onto RNA is called?
Transcription
Process of producing mrna from instructions in dna?
Transcription
Translation is to protein as transcription is to?
DNA strand
What are 3 process involved in the central dogma?
The general flow and direction of Genetic Data: DNA --> RNA --> Proteins.DNA produces more DNA through replicationDNA used as template for transcription of RNARNA directs synthesis of proteins through translation
How is DNA replication affected by a lack of mRNA?
Not at all. mRNA is not involved in DNA replication as it is involved in transcription and translation.
Two processes involved in using DNA to make proteins?
Transcription and translation
Which of these processes is NOT involved in translation?
One such processes will be anything to do with the DNA. The job of the DNA is finished when the transcription of the mRNA is complete.

Is the process in which DNA's genetic code is copied onto messenger RNA molecules known as translation?
Nope. Transcription first, then translation. They occur in alphabetical order. The DNA is copied into RNA in transcription. The RNA is translated into protein in translation.

What organelles are involved in transcription and translation?
RNA polymerase, nucleus, ribosomes, and DNA
What occurs during translation but not during transcription?
Transcription is the formation of mRNA from DNA whereas translation is the synthesis of protein from RNA.
What is the process called when DNA is copied into messenger RNA?
Transcription.
