What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is transcription in the context of genetics?

Back

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

Front

What is translation in the context of genetics?

Back

Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA at the ribosome.
