Messenger RNA (mRNA)
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a single-stranded RNA molecule that is complementary to one of the DNA strands of a gene.

messenger RNA (mRNA). This will later be translated into a polypeptide.
ribosomal RNA (rRNA). This will be used in the building of ribosomes: machinery for synthesizing proteins by translating mRNA.
transfer RNA (tRNA).

Messenger RNA (mRNA)
Messenger RNA contains genetic information. It is a copy of a portion of the DNA.
It carries genetic information from the gene (DNA) out of the nucleus, into the cytoplasm of the cell where it is translated to produce protein.

Messenger RNA (mRNA)
The transcript of a segment of chromosomal DNA which is a template for protein synthesis.
Methyl transferase
Enzymes that catalyze the transfer of methyl groups from one molecule to another.

Messenger RNA (mRNA): A single-stranded molecule of ribonucleic acid that directs protein production.
Mitosis: The production of c ells that are genetically identical to the original cell. Compare to meiosis.
mRNA: See messenger RNA.

Messenger RNA is RNA that carries information from DNA to the ribosome sites of protein synthesis in the cell.

What is messenger RNA?
The sequences coding for proteins are present in the DNA in the genome, but they first have to be transcribed into RNA in the form of RNA sequences, ...

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is the blueprint for construction of a protein. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is the construction site where the protein is made. Transfer RNA (tRNA) is the truck delivering the proper amino acid to the site at the right time.

messenger RNA A single-stranded polyribonucleotide; formed in the nucleus from a DNA template and carries the transcribed genetic code to the ribosome where the genetic code is translated into protein.

The messenger RNA (mRNA) is thus a copy of a gene. It leaves the nucleus through nuclear pores and it travels to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm.

mRNA: "messenger RNA" or sometimes just "message"; an RNA which contains sequences coding for a protein.

Researchers have long recognized that expression of a single gene may culminate in the production of several different messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts, depending both on the gene and the source tissue.

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is the molecule into which DNA is transcribed prior to making a protein, and those strands of RNA that hold the instructions for protein sequence are known as messenger RNA (mRNA).

Messenger RNA (mRNA) provides the template of instructions from the cellular DNA for building a specific protein. Transfer RNA (tRNA) brings the protein building blocks, amino acids, to the ribosome.

The process of translation (making protein from the instructions on a messenger RNA template) is similar in these lineages, ...

DNA that is synthesized from a messenger RNA template that corresponds to expressed sequences of genomic DNA. The term complementary DNA also may refer to DNA that is complementary to a particular DNA sequence.

Transcription The process of copying information from genes (made of DNA) into messenger RNA.
Translation The process of making proteins based on genetic information encoded in messenger RNA. Translation occurs in ribosomes.

RNA product - DNA genes are copied into RNA products; messenger RNA molecules are then translated into proteins; other RNA products including transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA are not translated into protein.

A complex organelle (composed of proteins plus rRNA) that catalyzes translation of messenger RNA into an amino acid sequence. Ribosomes are made up of two non-identical subunits each consisting of a different rRNA and a different set of proteins.

codon - sequence of three nucleotides in a DNA or messenger RNA molecule that represents the instruction for incorporation of a specific amino acid into a growing polypeptide chain.

Each ribosome comprises two parts, a large subunit and a small subunit. Messenger RNA from the cell nucleus is moved systematically along the ribosome where transfer RNA adds individual amino acid molecules to the lengthening protein chain.

chromosomal puff - expanded region of a polytene chromosome indicative of active messenger RNA synthesis.

mRNA -- messenger RNA; an RNA molecular that functions during translation to specify the sequence of amino acids in a nascent polypeptide.
