Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where amino acids are assembled into proteins.

Back

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

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that specifies an amino acid.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.
