Front

What is the role of DNA in cells?

Back

DNA stores genetic information and provides instructions for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the process of protein synthesis?

Back

The process by which cells use mRNA to assemble amino acids into proteins.

Front

What is interphase?

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows and prepares for division.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains deoxyribose; RNA is single-stranded and contains ribose.
