      1. Uracil NOT Thymine
        1. Shorter than DNA
          1. mRNA
            1. messenger RNA
              1. Carries 'message' that codes for a particular protein
                1. From Nucleus to Cytoplasm
              2. Single stranded, linear structure
                1. Codons
                  1. TRANSCRIPTION
                    1. RNA Synthesis
                      1. DNA Helicase breaks the Hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs
                        1. Start of gene on DNA = marked by a sequence of bases - promoter
                          1. RNA nucleotides attach to bases on DNA by complementary base pairing
                            1. only 1 RNA strand = made
                              1. Other strand = copy - non-template strand
                                1. DNA strand copied = template
                                  1. New nucleotide bases = joined by strong covalent phosphodiester bonds - enzyme RNA Polymerase
                                    1. Only ~8 base pairs are attached at a time, mRNA peels off from DNA as it's made - DNA polymerase rewinds the strand
                                      1. End of a gene = stop codon - transcription stops
                                        1. mRNA = length of a gene

                                            1. Gene = expressed through TRANSCRIPTION and TRANSLATION - into proteins
                                              1. Give cells their function
                                            2. Pre-mRNA
                                              1. Eukaryotic DNA = exons and introns
                                                1. Code for polypeptides
                                                2. Prokaryotic DNA = exons only
                                                3. Short lifetime - degraded soon after used
