Messenger RNA (mRNA) is attached to a ribosome during protein construction. The ribosome acts as the site where the mRNA is read and translated into a protein. As the ribosome moves along the mRNA, it synthesizes the corresponding protein based on the genetic information encoded in the mRNA molecule.
Messenger RNA molecules are fed through the ribosomes during protein synthesis.
Transfer RNA (tRNA) carries an amino acid to the site of protein synthesis on the ribosome. Each tRNA molecule has a specific amino acid attached to it and matches with the corresponding codon on the messenger RNA (mRNA) during protein synthesis.
Protein synthesis occurs at the ribosomes, which can be found either free in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes read the messenger RNA (mRNA) and assemble amino acids to create proteins.
The 3' poly-A tail is attached to the 3' end of messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts during post-transcriptional RNA processing. It helps stabilize the mRNA and plays a role in the translation process by signaling the addition of ribosomes and promoting efficient protein synthesis.
During transcription, mRNA (messenger RNA) is synthesized by RNA polymerase using a DNA template. This process occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and is essential for protein synthesis.
tRNA (transfer RNA) serves as an intermediary between mRNA (messenger RNA) and amino acids. During protein synthesis, tRNAs align with the mRNA so that the codons of the two match, then the amino acids attached to the opposite ends of the tRNAs are linked to start or continue the construction of a protein (proteins are comprised of amino acids).

Messenger RNA
A single stranded RNA molecule that encodes the information to make a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA). This molecule serves as a template for protein synthesis during translation in the ribosomes of a cell.
The process of making messenger RNA (mRNA) in protein synthesis is called transcription. During transcription, the DNA sequence is copied into mRNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is the type of RNA that carries the genetic information from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, where it is translated into a protein.
During the process of transcription, messenger RNA (mRNA) represents a copy of the genetic information found in DNA. It serves as a template for protein synthesis during translation in the cytoplasm.
