Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes facilitate the translation of mRNA into proteins.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA in terms of sugar?

Back

DNA contains deoxyribose sugar, while RNA contains ribose sugar.

Front

What is the function of messenger RNA (mRNA)?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What are the three types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), rRNA (ribosomal RNA).

Front

What is the significance of the genetic code?

Back

The genetic code determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
