Front

What role do proteins play in determining traits in organisms?

Back

Proteins are responsible for the expression of traits, as they perform various functions in the body.

Front

What is the primary function of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying DNA into mRNA, while translation is the process of converting mRNA into a protein.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

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

Front

How does changing the soil pH affect flower color?

Back

Changing the soil pH can affect the synthesis of proteins that determine flower color.

Front

What is cell differentiation?

Back
