According to "Elementary Biochemistry" by J. Davies and B. Shaffer Littlewood, mRNA contains 100-5000 N-containing bases, which is also the # of nucleotides. I guess the size of the mRNA is related to the size of the protein molecule that is being synthesized. What is the largest protein made in the human body?
What else can I help you with?
What carry instructions for making proteins?
mRNA
What is the maximum length of a polypeptide encoded by an mRNA that is 45 nucleotides long?
The maximum length of a polypeptide encoded by an mRNA is determined by the number of nucleotides in the mRNA sequence. Each amino acid is encoded by a set of three nucleotides called a codon. With a 45-nucleotide mRNA sequence, the maximum length of the polypeptide would be 45/3 = 15 amino acids.
What is the scientific term for writing the mRNA message in a cell?
The creation of mRNA is called transcription. mRNA is being transcribed from the DNA template.
What is the stop codon in most molecules of mRNA?
stop codon on mRNA
What cells parts does mRNA attach?
The mRNA attaches itself to a ribosome.
What carry instructions for making proteins?
mRNA

Why is end of a processed mrna referred to a poly a tail?
The poly(A) tail is a long sequence of adenine nucleotides added to the end of a processed mRNA molecule. It plays a role in protecting the mRNA from degradation and regulating its stability and translation efficiency. The addition of the poly(A) tail is an essential step in mRNA processing in eukaryotic cells.
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.
Is cDNA complementary to mRNA?
Yes, cDNA is complementary to mRNA.
What is the scientific term for writing the mRNA message in a cell?
The creation of mRNA is called transcription. mRNA is being transcribed from the DNA template.
What is the order of how a cell changes DNA messages to protein?
DNA -> transcription -> pre-mRNA -> mRNA processing -> mRNA -> translation -> protein
Does translation involve the formation of mRNA?
No, transcription involves the formation of mRNA.
What is the relationship between chromosome mRNA and proteins?
The mRNA is transcribed into proteins
What cells parts does mRNA attach?
The mRNA attaches itself to a ribosome.
Are codons found in mRNA or tRNA?
mRNA is made up of anticodons
What is the stop codon in most molecules of mRNA?
stop codon on mRNA
