What is the role of RNA in protein synthesis?

Back

RNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein assembly.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are assembled from amino acids.

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 significance of the genetic code?

Back

The genetic code determines how sequences of nucleotides in DNA are translated into proteins.
