DNA codes for protein production. DNA is located in the nucleus while the organelles responsible for protein production (ribosomes) are located in the cytosol. DNA is not able to leave the nucleus so a copy of the gene needed to produce the protein is made using mRNA. The mRNA leaves the nucleus, attaches to a ribosome, and determines which order the amino acids will be brought in by the tRNA to make that protein.

Is mRNA a direct copy of DNA?

mRNA is not a direct copy of DNA, but it is a molecule that carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes in the cell where proteins are made.


What enzyme do you need to get a copy of DNA from mRNA?

The enzyme needed to make a DNA copy of RNA (including mRNA) is called reverse transcriptase. This enzyme is capable of synthesizing a complementary DNA strand from an RNA template, which is the first step in generating a cDNA (complementary DNA) library.


What is the identical copy of DNA?

antisense mRNA


What process and produces mRNA?

The process that produces mRNA is known as transcription. In this process a single DNA strand is used to make a copy of mRNA.


When DNA is copied the process is called what?

mRNA does not copy DNA, intead, mRNA is copied FROM DNR. The process is call translation.


What is a traveling copy of DNA called?

A traveling copy of DNA is called messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA is synthesized in the process of transcription and carries the genetic information from the DNA in the cell nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where it is used as a template for protein synthesis.


What carries a copy the genetic code from the DNA to the ribosome?

mRNA(messenger RNA)


What is necessary for transcription?

DNA polymerase is the enzyme that "unzips" the complementary DNA strands allowing mRNA to transcribe, or copy, a section of DNA.


How is RNA reflection of DNA?

mRNA makes a complimentary copy of the DNA molecule according to the base-pairing rule.


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.


When DNA is turned into RNA it is termed what?

The process by which mRNA is created from a DNA template is known as transcription. After this has occurred, the DNA is still called DNA - it remains in the nucleus and has not been changed by this process. The copy of DNA is termed mRNA, or messenger RNA.


Which type of RNA copies DNA's instrutions in the nucleus?

mRNA (messenger RNA) carries a copy of the DNA from the nucleus to the ribosomes.
