mRNA transports genetic code from the nucleus to the cytoplasm for protein synthesis, read in three-nucleotide codons.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm for protein synthesis, with its codons being groups of three nucleotides.
| Front | mRNA |
|---|---|
| Back | - goes from nucleus to cytoplasm so proteins can be made from it - its codons are groups of 3 nucleotides |
