Answer 1

mRNA is a single-stranded RNA molecule that encodes certain amino acid sequences and corresponds to the coding strand of a gene. mRNA is transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where it forms a complex with ribosomes and translation factors. mRNA translation results in the transferring of the nucleotide sequence in mRNA to the amino acid sequence in a protein.
