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 the three main types of RNA?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), rRNA (ribosomal RNA).

Front

What is the function of tRNA?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

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 significance of the ribosome in protein synthesis?

Back

The ribosome is the site where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins by linking amino acids together.
