In a eukaryote, DNA never leaves the nucleus, so its information must be copied. This copying process is called transcription and the copy is mRNA. Transcription takes place in the cytoplasm (prokaryote) or in the nucleus (eukaryote). The transcription is performed by an enzyme called RNA polymerase. To make mRNA, RNA polymerase: Binds to the DNA strand at a specific sequence of the gene called a promoter.
mRNA is messenger RNA. mRNA is transcribed from DNA, and carries coding information to the ribosomes. Here, the RNA is translated into a protein.In mRNA genetic information is encoded in the sequence of nucleotides arranged into codons.Each codon encodes for a specific amino acid, except the stop codons that terminate protein synthesis.RNA is messenger RNA. mRNA is transcribed from DNA, and carries coding information to the ribosomes.
