Front

What is translation in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process where mRNA is decoded to form a protein.

Front

Does the order of amino acids in a protein matter?

Back

YES!

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 in translation?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the coded mRNA sequence.

Front

What are ribosomes made of?

Back

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

Front

What is the process of creating mRNA from DNA called?

Back

Transcription.

Front

What is an anticodon?

Back

An anticodon is a three-base sequence on tRNA that is complementary to a codon on mRNA.
