Front

What is protein synthesis?

Back

The process by which cells generate proteins from amino acids based on the genetic instructions in DNA.

Front

What are the two main stages of protein synthesis?

Back

Transcription and Translation.

Front

What is transcription in protein synthesis?

Back

The process of copying a segment of DNA into mRNA.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins by linking amino acids together.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid.
