Messenger RNA

Messenger ribose nucleic acid (mRNA) is the the type of RNA cells use to synthesis proteins.

mRNA, like all RNA, is composed of four nucleic acids called bases, adenine (A), uracil (U), gaunine (G), and cytosine (C). RNA is created in a process called transcription. During transcription an enzyme called RNA polymerase binds to specific region of DNA, a gene, and uses the DNA nucleic acid sequence as a template to make a shorter, single stranded RNA. are erroneous because RNA is created by transcription.
