What enzyme creates mRNA?
The answer is RNA polymerase . It is an enzyme in the cell responsible for creating mRNA from the correct gene. It is similar to DNA polymerase except for it makes RNA strand instead of DNA strand. It attaches to the promoter region of a DNA helix .
What is the function of RNA?
Facilitate the translation of DNA into proteins
What exactly does the RNA do?
Most RNAs function in an information carrying and/or processing mode in the cell. The overall information processes of the cell are given in the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology: DNA makes RNA makes Protein. RNA is involved as a carrier of information, and as a catalyst for the synthesis of the peptide bond.
Can RNA cause cancer?
How RNA splicing can trigger cancer. But until recently, only mutations in DNA were thought to cause cancer. In a new study published in the journal Cell Reports, researchers show that alterations in a process known as alternative splicing may also trigger the disease.
