Describe the mRNA journey through the cell after the nucleus has given the instructions.  Describe how each organelle affects the mRNA journey as it travel through the cell and, ultimately, through the cell membrane.  Organelles you should mention include the nucleus, nuclear membrane, nucleolus, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm, Golgi body, and plasma/cell membrane.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The information contained in a gene's DNA is transferred to an analogous molecule called RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the cell nucleus during transcription. Although both RNA and DNA are composed of a series of building units known as nucleotides, they differ slightly in terms of their chemical composition. Because it transports the information, or message, from the DNA outside of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm, the type of RNA that includes the instructions for building a protein is known as messenger RNA (mRNA).
