Translation

Front

Where does the first step of protein synthesis occur?

Back

Nucleus

Front

What is mRNA?

Back

Messenger RNA, a type of RNA that carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA (transfer RNA) brings amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

Define transcription in the context of protein synthesis.

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the synthesis of mRNA from DNA, while translation is the synthesis of proteins from mRNA.
