Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of tRNA?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

Define a nucleotide.

Back

A nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What are the three types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA.

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

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