Detailed explanation-1: -The type of RNA that contains the information for making a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA) because it carries the information, or message, from the DNA out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-2: -DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a long molecule that contains our unique genetic code. Like a recipe book it holds the instructions for making all the proteins in our bodies.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA Structure and the Genetic Code Humans store genetic information in DNA, a linear polymer made up of four different nucleotides: adenine (A), guanine (G), thymidine (T), and cytosine (C).
Detailed explanation-4: -genetic code, the sequence of nucleotides in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) that determines the amino acid sequence of proteins.
Detailed explanation-5: -The sections of DNA (or RNA) that code for proteins are called exons. Following transcription, new, immature strands of messenger RNA, called pre-mRNA, may contain both introns and exons.
