Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transfers amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

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

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix made up of nucleotides.
