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?
mRNA
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.
The creation of mRNA is called transcription. mRNA is being transcribed from the DNA template.
stop codon on mRNA
The mRNA attaches itself to a ribosome.

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.
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.
The creation of mRNA is called transcription. mRNA is being transcribed from the DNA template.
DNA -> transcription -> pre-mRNA -> mRNA processing -> mRNA -> translation -> protein
No, transcription involves the formation of mRNA.
The mRNA is transcribed into proteins
The mRNA attaches itself to a ribosome.
mRNA is made up of anticodons
