Transcription

Front

What is the process of translating mRNA into a protein called?

Back

Translation

Front

What is the main function of tRNA?

Back

To bring amino acids from the cytoplasm to the ribosomes.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins from amino acids.

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.

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the genetic code?

Back

The genetic code determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein.

Front

What are amino acids?

Back

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
