Front

What is the role of RNA in protein synthesis?

Back

RNA serves as a template for assembling amino acids into proteins.

Front

What is a dihybrid cross?

Back

A genetic cross that involves two traits, each represented by two alleles.

Front

What does complete dominance mean in genetics?

Back

A situation where one allele completely masks the effect of another allele.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying DNA to RNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from RNA.
