Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA delivers the correct amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into mRNA.

Front

What is the process of translation?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes synthesize proteins using mRNA and tRNA.

Front

What are codons?

Back

Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that correspond to specific amino acids.
