Front

What is the primary function of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

To carry genetic information from the DNA to the ribosome.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

To read mRNA and assemble amino acids into proteins.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA in terms of structure?

Back

DNA is double-stranded, while RNA is single-stranded.

Front

What is transcription in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

The process of copying a segment of DNA into mRNA.

Front

What is translation in protein synthesis?

Back

The process of decoding mRNA to synthesize proteins.
