Template Rna (Noun)
Meaning
The template for protein synthesis; the form of RNA that carries information from DNA in the nucleus to the ribosome sites of protein synthesis in the cell.
Classification
Nouns denoting substances.
Examples
- The genetic information in the DNA molecule is used as a template to create template RNA, which carries the information to the ribosome sites for protein synthesis.
- During transcription, template RNA is synthesized from a DNA template, allowing the sequence of nucleotides to be copied and used to guide protein assembly.
- The role of template RNA in protein synthesis involves the initiation step of translation at the ribosomal subunit.
- Template RNA, containing the correct nucleotide sequence from DNA, serves as the molecular guide during the assembly of amino acids into proteins.
- In eukaryotic cells, the template RNA synthesized in the nucleus is processed for protein synthesis before it migrates out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm for translation.
