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 transcription in the context of molecular biology?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.

Front

What is translation in the context of molecular biology?

Back

Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the cellular machinery that assembles amino acids into proteins based on the sequence of mRNA.
