FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is translation?
Back
The process of decoding mRNA to synthesize a polypeptide chain (protein) using ribosomes.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is tRNA and its function?
Back
Transfer RNA (tRNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation, matching them to the codons on the mRNA.
