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 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 of decoding mRNA to synthesize proteins.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where mRNA is translated into protein.
