Front

What is transcription in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is translation in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes read mRNA and assemble amino acids into proteins.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the cellular structures that facilitate the translation of mRNA into proteins.

Front

What is the significance of the genetic code?

Back

The genetic code determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein, which affects its structure and function.
