Front

What is the role of RNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

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

Front

What is a point mutation?

Back

A point mutation is a change in a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence.

Front

What is a frameshift mutation?

Back

A frameshift mutation occurs when nucleotides are added or deleted, altering the reading frame.

Front
