What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

What is the role of tRNA in translation?

Back

tRNA brings the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

What is the genetic code?

Back

The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in mRNA is translated into proteins.
