because the information of the sequence of the protein from the gene has to be transported to ribosomes in cytoplasm somehow. mRNA functions as this "messenger" of the sequence to ribosomes.

What is rRNA transcribed from?

rRNA is transcribed from genes located in the nucleolus of the cell. It is transcribed by RNA polymerase I.


What is the molecule transcribed from DNA called?

initially its hrRNA or pre-mRNA. (same thing different name). this then undergoes some modification like splicing, capping and polyadenalation to make mRNA which is then translated into protein.

A chromosome contains many genes that are transcribed into different what?

A chromosome contains many genes that are transcribed into different RNA molecules. These RNA molecules can serve as templates for protein synthesis or have other functions in the cell.


Does RNA contain genes?

RNA itself does not contain genes, but RNA is involved in the expression of genes. RNA is transcribed from genes in the DNA and carries the genetic information to create proteins through a process called translation.


What is an asRNA?

An asRNA is an antisense RNA, a single-stranded RNA which is complemenetary to a messenger RNA strand transcribed within a cell.


Are all three types of RNA coded by the same genes?

No, mRNA is transcribed from DNA in the nucleus and codes for proteins, while tRNA and rRNA are transcribed from DNA but do not code for proteins. tRNA delivers amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis, and rRNA helps form the structure of ribosomes.


WHAT IS THE process whereby the message transcribed into messenger RNA is converted to a polypeptide?

What are nucleotide segments of DNA molecules that make up genes and are expressed in the phenotype of an organism?

Genes are nucleotide segments of DNA molecules that code for specific proteins or RNA molecules. These genes are transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which is then translated into proteins that ultimately determine the organism's phenotype.


Where is eukaryotic ribosomal RNA transcribed?

Eukaryotic ribosomal RNA is transcribed in the nucleolus of the cell. The nucleolus is a distinct region within the cell nucleus where ribosomal RNA genes are actively transcribed and processed to form the components of the ribosomes.


What is the relationship between genes and proteins in the process of genetic expression?

Genes contain the instructions for making proteins through a process called genetic expression. Genes are transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which is then translated into proteins. This process is essential for the functioning of cells and organisms.


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.
