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?

Back

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

Front

Define transcription in the context of genetics.

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

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

Front

What is a codon?
