Detailed explanation-1: -mRNA is formed as a complementary strand to one of the two strands of the DNA. Three of the four nitrogenous bases that make up RNA-adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G)-are also found in DNA. In RNA, however, a base called uracil (U) replaces thymine (T) as the complementary nucleotide to adenine.
Detailed explanation-2: -The enzyme that converts DNA into mRNA is called RNA polymerase, which attaches to the DNA double helix as shown here. Once attached, RNA polymerase can unwind the helix and begin copying one of the DNA strands to form an mRNA transcript of the gene.
Detailed explanation-3: -mRNA is made from a DNA template during the process of transcription.
Detailed explanation-4: -The process of making mRNA from DNA is called transcription, and it occurs in the nucleus. The mRNA directs the synthesis of proteins, which occurs in the cytoplasm. mRNA formed in the nucleus is transported out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm where it attaches to the ribosomes.
