What amino acids are coded for by the mRnas?
mRNAs code for the 20 standard amino acids found in proteins. Each group of three nucleotides on the mRNA (codon) corresponds to a specific amino acid, as determined by the genetic code.
How do you isololate RNA?
How to isolate mRNA Minou Nowrousian Background: mRNAs (messenger RNAs) comprise only a small percentage of all RNA species in a eukaryotic cell, in Neurospora usually ~ 1-6 % (Lucas et al., 1977; Sturani et al., 1979). For some applications like preparation of a cDNA library, target preparation for microarray hybridizations or Northern blot analysis of weakly expressed genes, enriched mRNA preparations are preferable to total RNA. Enrichment of eukaryotic mRNAs derived from nuclear encoded genes is done by virtue of their poly(A) tail which in most cases is 30-200 nt long. mRNA or poly(A)-RNA preparation consists of three steps: (1) hybridization of poly(A)-containing RNAs to oligo-dT molecules connected to a carrier, (2) washing off nucleic acids which do not bind to oligo-dT
How do mRnas get to the Ribosomes?
They are positioned there via 'mediated' transport through the 'nuclear' pores found embedded within the Nuclear Envelope. Ribosomes attached to the Endoplasmic Reticulum [in the so-called Rough ER] await nearby in the Cellular Cytoplasm.
The order of bases in a molecule of mRNA is determined by the sequence?
The base sequence of mRnas is 'determined by the base sequence of nucleotides in Dna.' The base sequence is transformed into information via the triplet codons of The Genetic Code.
What happens to introns and exons during RNA editing?
No. The process which eliminatesintrons is called 'splicing'. This process is mediated by the protein complex called a spliceosome and probably occurs simultaneously with RNA editing. RNA editing is the addition, removal or substitution of bases in an RNA molecule after it has been synthesised, and critically can occur in organisms which lack introns. There are 3 main types of RNA editing: 1, Addition or removal of Uracil residues. Seen in the primary transcripts in trypanosome mitochondria (does not appear in multicellular organisms). 2, Cytosine -> Uracil Editing. Seen in mRNAs in some animals and plant mitochondria. 3, Adenosine -> Inosine. Seen in animal mRNAs. (Inosine is a very rare base which you get from the deamination of adenosine)
In which cellular location would you expect to find ribosomes translating mRNAs that encode ribosomal proteins?
You would expect to find ribosomes translating these mRNAs in the cytoplasm of the cell where protein synthesis occurs.
Which describes the transfer of mRNAs to a membrane to analyze gene expression?
southern blotting

What is histone mRNA?
Histone mRNA is a type of messenger RNA (mRNA) that carries the genetic information for the synthesis of histone proteins. Unlike typical mRNAs, histone mRNAs lack a poly-A tail and are rapidly degraded after histone protein synthesis is complete. They play a crucial role in packaging DNA into chromatin structure.
What are the functions of each type of the RNA?
mRNA carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis. tRNA brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis. rRNA makes up the ribosome and is involved in protein synthesis. PTEN RNA regulates gene expression and cell growth. miRNA regulates gene expression by binding to target mRNAs. snoRNA guides chemical modifications of other RNAs.
What has the author Ian G Johnston written?
Ian G. Johnston has written: 'Expression cloning of two novel mRNAs using an antibody directed against synaptic glycoproteins'
In which part is RNA used to create proteins?
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is involved in protein synthesis, but instead are an integral part of the ribosome machinery that is used to make proteins from mRNAs.
What causes the 20000-25000 genes of the human genome to encode as many as 120000 different expressed mRNAs?
The ability of 20,000-25,000 genes to encode as many as 120,000 different mRNAs is due to alternative splicing. This process allows a single gene to produce multiple mRNA transcripts by selectively splicing different combinations of exons and introns. This results in a diverse array of protein products with distinct functions and regulatory mechanisms.

Do humans have fewer or more proteins in their body than protein coding regions?
Number of proteins produced is of course more than the number of coding regions/genes/mRNAs. This is because of biological processes like alternate splicing and other post translational changes.
