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 a codon?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of tRNA in translation?

Back

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

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

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