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 protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of codons in the genetic code?

Back

Codons specify which amino acids will be added during protein synthesis.
