Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a large family of RNA molecules that convey genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where they specify the amino acid sequence of the protein products of gene expression. <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messenger_RNA Messenger RNA]</ref> | Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a large family of RNA molecules that convey genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where they specify the amino acid sequence of the protein products of gene expression. Ribosomes are a cell structure that makes protein. Protein is needed for many cell functions such as repairing damage or directing chemical processes. Ribosomes can be found floating within the cytoplasm. Proteins are an essential part of all cells.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messenger_RNA Messenger RNA]</ref> | ||
