Where does mRNA go after transcription?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking about the destination and role of mRNA after it is transcribed from DNA. Specifically, it is looking for information on what happens to mRNA within the cell post-transcription and the process it undergoes before protein synthesis.

Answer

After transcription, mRNA is transported to the cytoplasm.

The final answer is that after transcription, mRNA is transported to the cytoplasm where it is translated by ribosomes.

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is that after transcription, mRNA is transported to the cytoplasm where it is translated by ribosomes.

More Information

mRNA is crucial for translating genetic information from DNA to make proteins, functioning as a messenger between the nucleus and the protein synthesis machinery in the cytoplasm.

Tips

A common mistake is to assume mRNA stays in the nucleus or that translation occurs in the nucleus, but in eukaryotic cells, it moves to the cytoplasm for translation.
