The process of transcription, where mRNA is synthesized from DNA, occurs in the nucleus because that is where the DNA is located. The DNA serves as the template for mRNA synthesis, and enzymes and other necessary factors for transcription are also present in the nucleus. Additionally, keeping transcription and translation (where mRNA is used to make proteins) spatially separated allows for more control and regulation of gene expression.

Does RNA stay in the nucleus?

The RNA that leaves nucleus is called mRNA (messenger RNA) molecule. The DNA molecule is first of all transcribed by use of general transcription factors to gives us a mRNA molecule. Now this mRNA molecule before leaving the nucleus undergoes RNA processing where all the interons - regions on mRNA that do not code for any protein are cut out by using spliceosomes. The modified mRNA molecule can now leave the nucleus.boogus


In eukaryotes only exons are translated?

Correct. The mRNA transcibed from the DNA in the nucleus has both exons and introns; the introns are taken out and the exons are left in. The mended exons exit the nucleus and the introns stay in the nucleus. Only the exons are translated at the ribosomes. (In Eukaryotic cells only)


What molecule is able to leave the nucleus with the genetic code?

Perhaps you are talking about messenger RNA, mRNA, that is transcribed from DNA in the nucleus and leaves the nucleus to go into the cytosol where it docks with a ribosomal subunit where translation takes place.


What is an analogy for protein synthesis?

DNA is like...precious document. The document must stay in a safety vault and cannot be removed. This is like DNA in that DNA must stay in the nucleus of the cell and cannot be removed from it. Someone then has to go into the vault and make a copy of what is in the book so that we can see and used what is in the book. This is like the cell which makes a copy of the DNA (as mRNA) and then mRNA moves out of the nucleus to the ribosomes to be used to make the protein.


Does RNA stay in the nucleus or does it travel to other parts of the cell for various functions?

RNA is produced in the nucleus but can travel to other parts of the cell, such as the cytoplasm, to carry out various functions like protein synthesis.

What is meant by introns?

Intronsare a part of your genetics that are edited out when making mRNAafter transcription. The opposite are exons,which are the "keeper" parts. A chunk of DNA, called a gene is read and copied (like a photocopy) into a disposable piece called mRNA.This process is called Transcription. However, the mRNA"photocopy" isn't ready for the next step, called Translation. It needs editing. Pieces are chopped out of it and the remaining pieces are 'stitched' back together. The chopped out (trash) pieces are called introns.The remaining pieces (keepers) are called exons.The edited mRNA(made up of keeper exonspieces) is now all ready. It leaves the nucleus so it can find a ribosomeand begin translation.Introns stay IN the nucleus (trash).Exonsget to EXIT the nucleus (keepersthat get to move on to the next step).
