Front

When these bond together, they form a protein.

Front

What is the process in which DNA makes an exact copy of itself?

Back

Amino Acids

Front

What is the role 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 deoxyribose sugar, while RNA contains ribose sugar.

Front

What is transcription?

Back

The process of copying a segment of DNA into mRNA.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

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