Front

What are the three main types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), rRNA (ribosomal RNA)

Front

What role does mRNA play in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of tRNA in translation?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, facilitating the assembly of amino acids into proteins.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides on mRNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid.
