Front

What is the role of RNA in protein synthesis?

Back

RNA plays a crucial role in protein synthesis by acting as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes.

Front

What are the three types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?

Back

The three types of RNA are messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA).

Front

What is the process of transcription?

Back

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

Front

What is the process of translation?

Back

Translation is the process of decoding mRNA to synthesize proteins.
