single amino acid.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are codons?

Back

Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that specify a particular amino acid.

Front

What is the function of tRNA?

Back

tRNA transports specific amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the start codon and its significance?

Back

The start codon is AUG, which signals the beginning of protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

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