Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

To assemble amino acids into proteins.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of the phosphate group in nucleotides?

Back

To link nucleotides together and form the backbone of DNA/RNA.
