What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the function of RNA polymerase?

Back

RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA from a DNA template during transcription.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides on mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

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

Front

What is the process of translation?

Back

Translation is the process of decoding mRNA to synthesize a protein.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?
