Front

What is the role of rRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

It forms the ribosome where translation occurs.

Front

What is a DNA mutation?

Back

A change in the DNA strand.

Front

What is the primary function of RNA?

Back

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

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Amino acids.

Front

What is the process of converting mRNA into a protein called?

Back

Translation.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

It carries amino acids to the ribosome.

Front

What is the structure that carries genetic information from the nucleus to the ribosome?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA).

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and stores genetic information; RNA is single-stranded and helps in protein synthesis.
