Chapter 4.5, Problem 3MQ
Summary Introduction

The synthesis of ribonucleic acid (RNA) from a specific segment of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is known as transcription. The major three forms of RNAs are messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). All these RNA molecules are involved in protein synthesis. The genetic information present in the DNA sequence is transferred to protein molecules through mRNA. The mRNA molecule encodes the genetic information that is translated into a protein sequence using ribosomes.
