Back

Translation.

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 function of tRNA?

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.
