What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, assembling amino acids into proteins.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the codons on the mRNA.

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 making proteins from mRNA.

Front

What are peptide bonds?

Back

Peptide bonds are the chemical bonds that link amino acids together to form proteins.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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