Back

A protein

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

Which RNA base pairs with adenine (A) in DNA?

Back

Uracil (U) pairs with adenine in RNA.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA regarding their nitrogenous bases?

Back

Only RNA contains the base Uracil, while DNA contains Thymine.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a triplet of mRNA bases that codes for a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process of synthesizing mRNA from a DNA template.

Front

What is the process of translation?

Back

Translation is the process of synthesizing a protein from mRNA at the ribosome.

Front

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

Back

mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA (ribosomal RNA).
