Front

Define Transcription in protein synthesis.

Back

The process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.

Front

What is Translation in protein synthesis?

Back

The process where ribosomes create proteins based on the sequence of mRNA.

Front

What role do ribosomes play in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins from amino acids.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.
