Front

What are the three types of RNA?

Back

mRNA (messenger), rRNA (ribosomal), tRNA (transfer)

Front

Which is not one of the three types of RNA?

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 is the function of tRNA?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in the cell?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis.

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

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

Front

What is translation in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

Translation is the process of decoding mRNA to synthesize proteins.
