Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

mRNA (messenger RNA) is a type of RNA that is transcribed from DNA in the nucleus and carries the genetic code to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where it acts as a template for protein synthesis. It essentially copies segments of the genetic code and transports them to the ribosomes for the manufacture of proteins. It is therefore located in the nucleus during transcription and in the cytoplasm during translation. It is not located in the mitochondria and does not transport amino acids into position.
