RNA metabolism

RNA metabolism involves the processes by which cells produce, modify, and break down RNA molecules. DNA in the nucleus provides instructions to create messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries these instructions to the cell’s protein-making factories. The mRNA undergoes changes and is transported out of the nucleus. Eventually, ribosomes read the mRNA to assemble proteins. Afterward, RNA molecules are degraded or recycled. These steps ensure precise gene expression, allowing cells to respond to changes and maintain proper function efficiently. RNA metabolism is essential for how genes are expressed and how cells adapt and function properly.
