Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA serves as the template for assembling amino acids into proteins.

Front

Which type of RNA carries amino acids to the ribosome?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) carries amino acids to the ribosome.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

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

Front

What is the process of translation?

Back

Translation is the process of decoding mRNA to synthesize proteins.

Front

What are peptide bonds?

Back

Peptide bonds are the chemical bonds that link amino acids together to form proteins.

Front

What is the role of DNA in protein synthesis?
