Q
Q: What is the primary function of mRNA in the process of gene expression?
Solution:
mRNA serves as a template for protein synthesis by carrying the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: DNA contains the genetic information needed to make proteins.
Step 2: When a gene is expressed, a copy of the DNA is made in the form of mRNA.
Step 3: mRNA leaves the nucleus of the cell and travels to the ribosome.
Step 4: The ribosome reads the sequence of the mRNA.
Step 5: Based on the mRNA sequence, the ribosome assembles amino acids to form a protein.
