DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where is mRNA made?
A
in the nucleus
B
in the ribosome
C
in the mitochondria
D
in the vacuole
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Messenger RNA (abbreviated mRNA) is a type of single-stranded RNA involved in protein synthesis. mRNA is made from a DNA template during the process of transcription.

Detailed explanation-3: -Messenger RNA, also known as mRNA, kick-starts the process of creating proteins. Carrying genetic instructions copied from DNA, it exits the nucleus and travels to the cytoplasm, attaching to a ribosome.

Detailed explanation-4: -mRNA is created during transcription. During the transcription process, a single strand of DNA is decoded by RNA polymerase, and mRNA is synthesized. Physically, mRNA is a strand of nucleotides known as ribonucleic acid, and is single-stranded.

Detailed explanation-5: -mRNA from vaccines does not enter the nucleus and does not alter DNA. mRNA vaccines work by introducing a piece of mRNA that corresponds to a viral protein, usually a small piece of a protein found on the virus’s outer membrane.
