What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

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

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

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

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.

What is the role of tRNA in translation?

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

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

What is the significance of the start codon in translation?

The start codon (AUG) signals the beginning of protein synthesis.

What is the end product of translation?

The end product of translation is a polypeptide chain, which folds into a functional protein.

How do mutations affect protein synthesis?

Mutations can alter the sequence of nucleotides, potentially changing the amino acid sequence and function of the resulting protein.
