Front

What is the primary function of RNA?

Back

To transfer genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains Thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains Uracil.

Front

What is transcription in the context of genetics?

Back

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

Front

What role does RNA polymerase play in transcription?

Back

RNA polymerase is the enzyme that synthesizes RNA from the DNA template.

Front

What is a codon?
