mRNA is the complementary strand of DNA that leaves the nucleus of the cell and binds to the ribosome. The mRNA is what carries the instructions for creating proteins. mRNA binds to the ribosome and a complementary strand of mRNA (tRNA) also binds to the ribosome. Groups of three nucleotides on the mRNA, known as codons, match up with groups of three nucleotides on the tRNA, known as anticodons. The codons and anticodons code for amino acids. The ribosome moves down the mRNA strand until it has all been coded for and the amino acid chain is released into the cell to perform it's desired funtion.

It's a cytokine (a signalling protein) that has lots of different effects depending on what cell is exposed to it. In this case, the researchers think it may be doing something to the cells that maintain ear bones.

How does gene related to DNA?

gene is a segment of dna that carries instructions for making a protein.


Is protein and DNA the same?

No. DNA is genetic material that carries the instructions for making proteins.


What Rna type carries the instructions for making a protein from a gene to the site of translation?

Messenger Rna.


Where does RNA get instruction for making protein?

RNA gets instructions for making protein from DNA through a process called transcription. The DNA instructions are copied into a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA) which is then used as a template for protein synthesis in a process called translation.


How can the instructions for making proteins make it out to the ribosomes outside the nucleus?

The instructions, which are found in DNA, are transcribed on a messenger RNA (mRNA) in the nucleus. The mRNA, unlike DNA, can pass through the nuclear pore and therefore move to the ribosomes for translation (making protein)


Mrna carries the information for making proteins to the what?

mRNA carries the information for making proteins to the ribosomes in the cell, where the process of protein synthesis takes place. Once at the ribosomes, the mRNA is used as a template to direct the assembly of specific amino acids into a protein molecule according to the genetic code.


What is usually a set of instructions for making a particular protein?

This set of instructions is called a gene.


What is a stretch of DNA that contains the instructions for making a particular protein called?

The instructions for a particular protein are contained on a stretch of DNA known as a gene.


MRNA carries the information for making proteins to the?

ribosomes in the cell, where the actual process of protein synthesis occurs. The ribosomes read the sequence of nucleotides in mRNA and use this information to string together amino acids in the correct order to build a protein.


When RNA leaves the nucleus and carries out the instructions of DNA for the building of a protein on a cytoplasmic structure called what?

ribosomes


What usually is a set of instructions for making a particular protein?

A set of instructions for making a particular protein is called a gene. Genes are made up of DNA sequences that encode the specific sequence of amino acids that make up a protein. These instructions are transcribed from DNA to mRNA and then translated into a protein by ribosomes.


What area of a gene carries the code used to make a protein?

The coding region of a gene that carries the instructions for making a protein is called the "coding sequence" or "exon." This segment of the gene is transcribed into a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule, which is then translated by ribosomes into a specific protein.
