Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason why so many $\text{mRNA}$ molecules are transcribed from the same gene.

Introduction:

Messenger RNA is a large category of RNA molecules. $\text{mRNA}$ conveys the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where they specify a particular protein. The enzyme called RNA polymerase transcribes the DNA into $\text{mRNA}$. This $\text{mRNA}$ is then translated into a polypeptide chain called protein.
