What is mRNA?

Question

What is mRNA?

anonymous · Answer

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a form of RNA that codes for amino acids.
During transcription a sequence of mRNA is made from a corresponding sequence of DNA. In a eukaryote, the mRNA is then processed and sent outside the nucleus to be translated by a ribosome in the cytoplasm.
As for a prokaryote, the mRNA is already in the cytoplasm and just needs to be translated by a ribosome also in the prokaryote's cytoplasm.

mRNA stand for messenger RNA
m RNA carries the genetic information that will be expressed ultimately as proteins. In prokaryotes, it is short-lived and is turned over rapidly. Eukaryotic mRNA is more stable as a result of the modifications that are made to it after it is transcribed.
