Different phases of phased cell mitosis with chromosome activity

Two strands coiled with gray strands consisting of sugar and phosphate groups. Color indicates hydrogen bonds between bases.

RNA Attachments to ribosome with Anticodons tRNAs and mRNAs

The Golgi apparatus of a Euglena

A single messenger RNA molecule may be translated by several ribosomes simultaneiously.

Possible path of movement of membrane material through and around the cell.

Most DNA is double-stranded and wound to a helix. RNA is alway single stranded.

Since it was produced by transcription of a gene, an mRNA molecule contains the same directions for polypeptide synthesis as does the gene.
