Front

What are the three components of a nucleotide?

Back

A phosphate group, a sugar (deoxyribose), and a nitrogen base.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

To carry the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

Front

What is a mutation?

Back

A change in the DNA sequence that can lead to changes in protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains deoxyribose; RNA is single-stranded and contains ribose.
