Back

Translation.

Front

What is the correct sequence of information flow in molecular biology?

Back

DNA -> RNA -> Protein.

Front

What is the role of messenger RNA (mRNA)?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of transfer RNA (tRNA)?

Back

tRNA brings amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?

Back

rRNA forms the core of the ribosome's structure and catalyzes protein synthesis.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that specifies an amino acid.

Front

What is the significance of the start codon?

Back

The start codon (AUG) signals the beginning of protein synthesis.
