Front

What is the process of synthesizing mRNA from DNA called?

Back

Transcription

Front

What is the process of translating mRNA into a protein called?

Back

Translation

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains Thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains Uracil.

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

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