Is there a possibility that translation happens first before transcription?

transcription occurs in the nucleus of a cell - enzymes make an RNA copy of the gene from DNA, and the RNA (called mRNA) is sent to the cytoplasm once it has been processed.translation occurs after that - the mRNA that was moved to the cytoplasm becomes the template for amino acids to attach onto. ribosomes hold the mRNA while tRNA attach amino acids to the mRNA. Bonds form between the amino acids so that it becomes a chain.


In eukaryote cells the RNA nucleotides are found in the nucleus?

Yes, in eukaryotic cells, RNA nucleotides are found in the nucleus where transcription takes place to form mRNA. The mRNA is then exported to the cytoplasm where it can be translated into proteins by ribosomes.


Where does the mrna come from?

mRNA, or messenger RNA, is synthesized in cells during a process called transcription, where DNA serves as a template. In eukaryotic cells, this process occurs in the nucleus, where specific genes are transcribed into mRNA. Once synthesized, the mRNA undergoes processing, including splicing and the addition of a 5' cap and a poly-A tail, before being transported to the cytoplasm for translation into proteins. In the context of vaccines, such as mRNA vaccines, the mRNA can also be produced synthetically in laboratories.


Where in the cell is the pre-mRNA produced?

Pre-mRNA is produced in the nucleus of the cell during the process of transcription. In eukaryotic cells, DNA is transcribed into pre-mRNA, which then undergoes processing to become mature mRNA before it is transported to the cytoplasm for translation.


What activity must mRNA do in traveling from DNA to protein synthesis sites in eukaryootic cells that does NOT occur in prokaryotic cells?

In eukaryotic cells, mRNA must undergo processing, which includes capping, polyadenylation, and splicing, before it can be transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm for protein synthesis. This processing is essential for stability and translation efficiency. In contrast, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, and their mRNA is translated directly after transcription without such modifications.

Are introns or exons removed during the process of mRNA splicing?

Exons are the parts of the mRNA that are kept and introns are the parts that are removed during the process of mRNA splicing.


What attaches to the mRNA strand as translation begins?

After the two ribosomal subunits attach to a strand of mRNA, a tRNA molecule with the amino acid methionine attaches to the start codon, AUG.


Why are many types of RNA found in some cells with only one DNA?

There are different types of RNA that have different functions. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) makes ribosomes, the site of protein synthesis; messenger RNA (mRNA) transcribes the DNA code into a strand of mRNA and will attach to a ribosome where transfer RNA (tRNA) translates the mRNA code by bringing amino acids to their appropriate place based on the mRNA code.


What does trna does that mrna does not have?

Protein Parts


If trna had an agc anticodon it could attach to what?

If tRNA had an AGC anticodon, it could attach to a codon on mRNA that is complementary to it, which would be UCG. This would ensure the correct amino acid is brought to the ribosome during protein synthesis.


What does ribosome carry?

Ribosomes attach to messenger RNA molecules and facilitate the translation of mRNA into proteins.


Role of ribosomes?

Basically, the role of ribosomes is to make proteins. Normally, there are two parts of ribosome which come together when translation occurs. When a mRNA comes into the cytoplasm, ribosome will attach itself to the mRNA and make polypeptide chains. It then releases the mRNA and the polypeptide, then the polypeptide goes through further enhancement to become a fully functional protein.


What carries the protein parts to the ribosome and the mRNA?

Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules carry the protein parts (amino acids) to the ribosome. The messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules serve as the template for the sequence of amino acids to be assembled into a protein.


What is the part of protein synthesis?

Transcription: mRNA is copied from a DNA molecule. Translation: The mRNA molecule then attaches to ribosomes. tRNA carrying amino acids come and attach to Codons on the mRNA. The amino acids bond to form a chain and a protein is formed.
