Amino acids.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes facilitate the translation of mRNA into proteins.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in translation?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying DNA to mRNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.
