Cytoplasm/Ribosome

Front

What type of RNA makes up part of a ribosome?

Back

rRNA (ribosomal RNA)

Front

Which molecule is responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome during translation?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA)

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 the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports specific amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the main function of rRNA?

Back

rRNA forms the core of the ribosome's structure and catalyzes 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 the role of the ribosome in protein synthesis?

Back

The ribosome is the site where translation occurs, facilitating the assembly of amino acids into proteins.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

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