What is transcription?

Back

The process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.

Front

What is translation?

Back

The process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What role do ribosomes play in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs and proteins are assembled.

Front

What is the function of tRNA?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of rRNA?

Back

rRNA (ribosomal RNA) is a component of ribosomes and helps facilitate translation.
