Messenger RNA (mRNA) copies messages from genes on DNA and uses these messages to produce proteins, and the human body functions well only with the right types and amount of proteins.
The messenger RNA comes over from the nucleus -- the site of the DNA -- carrying the message and sits on the ribosome.
1960s Sydney Brenner, Francois Jacob and Matthew Meselson show that messenger RNA (above) carries the information required to make proteins.
