Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The messenger RNA that carries genetic information from the chromosomes into the ribosomes are called as mRNA. It is synthesized in the nucleus of a cell and carries the genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Hence, it is called as a messenger RNA. This messenger RNA is further translated into proteins.
