Transcription, RNA processing, and Translation

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of tRNA during translation?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the coded mRNA sequence.

Front

What is a mutation?

Back

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can lead to changes in protein structure and function.

Front

What are introns?

Back

Introns are non-coding segments of RNA that are removed during RNA processing.
