Front

Which statement describes the process of protein synthesis?

Back

DNA is copied into mRNA which is translated into protein.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in cells?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are synthesized.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into mRNA.

Front

What is translation in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes read mRNA and assemble amino acids into proteins.
