Question

Explain how production of mrna relates to gene expression. think back to what you have learned about protein synthesis in your bms courses.

Answer 1

I think it is because Proteins are coded by mRNA, thus only mRNA reflects gene expression. Gene expression starts with transcription of DNA molecule to mRNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase, a process which takes place in the nucleus of a cell. mRNA formed then diffuses to the cytoplasm where the process of translation takes place which yields proteins. 

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:  Genes are sequences of Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) that contain the information to produce or synthesize the various proteins necessary for cell survival. The process by which proteins are produced is called gene expression and includes:  

1. A first step in which a copy of the gene is generated (synthesized) by an enzyme called Transcriptase. This enzyme produces (synthesizes) a molecule of Ribonucleic acid (RNA) with the same information of the gene. This molecule that transmits the gene message is called messenger RNA (mRNA).

2. In the second step the mRNA is read by other enzymes that use this information to make the corresponding protein.  

Then mRNA is an intermediate player in gene expression process that finally results in the synthesis of a protein.
