What type of RNA travels to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm to give instructions for building proteins?

Back

mRNA

Front

Which nucleotide base replaces Thymine in RNA?

Protein synthesis

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where mRNA is translated into proteins.

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 the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the central dogma of molecular biology?

Back

DNA -> RNA -> Protein.
