Front

During transcription, which type of RNA is responsible for copying the DNA and bringing it out of the nucleus?

Back

mRNA

Front

In which part of the cell does the process of translating mRNA into amino acids occur?

Back

Cytoplasm

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is transcription in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is translation in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process where ribosomes synthesize proteins using the information carried by mRNA.

Front

What are ribosomes made of?

Back

Ribosomes are made of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
