Messenger RNA brings information from the DNA in the nucleus to the protein manufacturing area, the cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm, the mRNA becomes the template of information to make proteins.
The mRNA copies the DNA and then floats out into the cytoplasm of the cell to a ribosome. There two other types of RNA come into play. rRNA (ribosomal RNA) uses the instructions in the mRNA to connect amino acids carried by the 20 types of tRNA (transfer RNA). The result is a chain of amino acids that forms an enzyme.
