What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are synthesized by translating mRNA.

Front

What are amino acids?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Front

What is translation in protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes create proteins based on the sequence of mRNA.

Front

What is a mutation?

Back

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can affect protein synthesis.
