Front

What is a codon?

Back

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

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 is the process of translation?

Back

The process by which ribosomes synthesize proteins using the information in mRNA.

Front

What are the three types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA.

Front

What does tRNA do during translation?

Back

tRNA transports specific amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the codons in mRNA.
