Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

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 brings the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

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