Front

What is the role of rRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

rRNA is a component of ribosomes and helps in the translation of mRNA into proteins.

Front

What is the first step of protein synthesis?

Back

Transcription, where DNA is transcribed to mRNA.

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of making mRNA from DNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What happens during the translation process?

Back

The ribosome reads the mRNA sequence and assembles amino acids into a polypeptide chain.
