What is the function of mRNA?

Back

To carry genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What are the three main types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?

Front

What is a mutation?

Back

A change in the DNA sequence that can lead to changes in protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between a substitution mutation and a deletion mutation?

Back

A substitution mutation replaces one base with another, while a deletion mutation removes a base.

Front

What is the start codon and its significance?

Back

AUG; it signals the start of protein synthesis.
