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 ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins from amino acids.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of making RNA from DNA, while translation is the process of making proteins from mRNA.

Front

What are codons?

Back

Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that correspond to specific amino acids.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in translation?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the codons in mRNA.
