Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a carrier of information- specifically, a single-stranded complement to a segment of DNA copied to produce a protein for some purpose that is sent to the ribosomes for translation into the needed protein.

RNA that is a copy of DNA message that can enter the cytoplasm?

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a copy of the DNA message that is transcribed in the nucleus and can be translated into proteins in the cytoplasm. It carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes where protein synthesis occurs.

What kind of a molecule is a microRNA?

microRNA is a "non-coding RNA" molecule. This means that it does not translate into a protein. These are sometimes also called "non-messenger" RNA molecules.


Why is the mRNA molecule called messenger RNA?

The simple answer is that DNA is located in the cell nucleus, but protein synthesis takes place in the cytoplasm. So a messenger molecule (mRNA) is needed to carry the genetic information from DNA (in the nucleus) to the ribosomes (in the cytoplasm) where the proteins are synthesised.

What molecule carries a copy of the code from out of the nucleus?

Molecules of Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) carry the instructions for assembling proteins out of the cell nucleus. Without this type of molecule, the cell cannot survive.
