Where does translation occur in a cell?

Back

Ribosome

Front

What does mRNA stand for?

Back

Messenger RNA

Front

What is the role of mRNA?

Back

To carry information from genes to ribosomes.

Front

What is the main goal of transcription?

Back

To make RNA.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins from amino acids.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in translation?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the genetic code?

Back

The genetic code determines the sequence of amino acids in proteins.

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of making RNA from DNA, while translation is the process of making proteins from RNA.
