Front

Which type of RNA is the message of the decoded gene from DNA?

Back

mRNA.

Front

Which type of RNA reads the coded gene and makes a protein?

Back

rRNA.

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins called?

Back

Amino Acids.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in translation?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of tRNA in translation?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of rRNA in translation?

Back

rRNA forms the core of the ribosome's structure and catalyzes protein synthesis.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that specifies a particular amino acid.

Front

What is an anticodon?

Back

An anticodon is a sequence of three nucleotides in tRNA that is complementary to a codon in mRNA.
