Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes facilitate the translation of mRNA into a polypeptide chain.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA contains thymine, while RNA contains uracil.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the start codon for protein synthesis?

Back

AUG (which codes for Methionine).
