Front

What is the role of messenger RNA (mRNA) in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of transfer RNA (tRNA)?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in the cell?

Back

rRNA is a component of ribosomes, which are the sites of protein synthesis.
