Q
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is used during translation to form polypeptides.
Describe how mRNA is produced in the nucleus of a cell.
A
= helicase breaks hydrogen bonds
= one dna strand acts as template
= free rna nucleotides allign to attracted base pairs exposed dna strand
= hydrogen bomding
= rna plmerae joins rna nucleorides together
= pre mrna is spliced- removes introns
