And DNA can be transcribed into our messenger RNA. Now messenger RNA, once it's actually formed, it can be modified in several important ways and ultimately our messenger RNA will end up in a cytoplasm of the cell where the messenger RNA will combine with the ribosomes of the cell and the messenger and the ribosomes will basically combine to synthesize our proteins. So we see that the ribosomes can basically translate the genetic information that is stored within the mRNA and using that genetic information that came from the DNA we can synthesize our proteins through a process known as translation which we'll discuss in much greater detail in the next several electrodes. Now in eukaryotic cells our eukaryotic mRNA is usually used to synthesize a single protein. But in prokaryotic organisms a single mRNA molecule can be used to synthesize many different proteins. Now let's move on to the second type of RNA known as rRNA which stands for ribosomal RNA.
