adenine

Front

Where does translation occur?

Back

ribosome

Front

During translation, this type of RNA brings the matching amino acids to the ribosome.

Back

tRNA

Front

What is C?

Back

Chromosome

Front

What determines the sequence (order) of amino acids?

Back

The nitrogenous bases (ATGC) in DNA

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 three main types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA, tRNA, rRNA

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins by linking amino acids.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

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

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into mRNA.
