Front

What process is responsible for synthesizing proteins from mRNA?

Back

Translation

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 tRNA in translation?

Back

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

Front

What is the first step of protein synthesis?

Back

Transcription, where DNA is transcribed to mRNA in the nucleus.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

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

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides on mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.
