Back

Transcription

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes facilitate the translation of mRNA into proteins.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine; RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides that corresponds to a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in translation?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of messenger RNA (mRNA)?

Back

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