Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

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

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.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

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