Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is a ribosome?

Back

A ribosome is a molecular machine that synthesizes proteins by translating mRNA.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in translation?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the coded mRNA message.

Front

Define transcription in the context of protein synthesis.

Back

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

Front

What is a mutation?

Back

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can lead to changes in protein function.
