What is the function of ribosomes in the cell?

Back

Ribosomes synthesize proteins by translating mRNA.

Front

What is mRNA and its role in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

Define transcription in the context of protein synthesis.

Back

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