What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are ribosomes made of?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the promoter in transcription?

Back

The promoter is a DNA sequence that initiates transcription by providing a binding site for RNA polymerase.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of synthesizing mRNA from DNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.
