Front

What is the result of DNA replication?

Back

Each DNA molecule consists of one new strand and one original strand.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

What is the function of ribosomes in cells?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis.

Front

What is a mutation?

Back

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can lead to changes in protein structure and function.

Front

How does DNA differ from RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.
