Document Summary
Exerts its affects by carrying information by which cells can produce proteins through transcription and translation. Translation: trna and rrna use the information on the mrna to align amino acids into the primary structure of a protein. Transcription: information on dna gene is used to make a molecule of mrna the basic structure of the protein is encoded in the dna genes. Transcription the mrna is a long single strand of nucleotides (agcu= bases) sugar= ribose the size of the mrna depends on the size of the gene (small gene= small mrna) Only one strand of dna is used to make mrna this is called the template strand. The mrna that is formed is complementary to the template strand of. In the process of dna replication the important enzyme was dna polymerase; in mrna synthesis the important enzyme= rna polymerase the. Rna polymerase is responsible for manufacturing mrna by using the dna template strand.
