Front

What is a ribosome made of?

Back

Ribosomes are made of rRNA (ribosomal RNA) and proteins.

Front

Front

What is transcription?

Back

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

Front

What is translation?

Back

Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is mRNA?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

Front

What is 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) forms the core of the ribosome's structure and catalyzes protein synthesis.
