D. mRNA is synthesized from a strand of DNA.

Transcription, hence the root script, means to write. This is the creation of the mRNA "messenger" information.

During transcription, mRNA is synthesized using DNA as a template. This process usually takes place in the cell nucleus and is carried out with the help of an enzyme called RNA polymerase.

mRNA plays the role of a messenger hence the term messenger RNA or mRNA in short. Information for synthesis of a specific protein is transcribed on mRNA in the nucleus of the cell. The mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm and attaches onto a ribosome. Ribosomes are cell structures fondly called the "work bench " of the cell.

It is in the ribosomes that the information brought by mRNA is translated or decoded and used to synthesize the specific protein that was coded for.
