What is the role of ribosomes in translation?

Back

Ribosomes facilitate the assembly of amino acids into proteins.

Front

What is mRNA and its function?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is tRNA and its role in translation?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the start codon in translation?

Back

The start codon (AUG) signals the beginning of protein synthesis.

Front

What are codons?

Back

Codons are sequences of three nucleotides in mRNA that correspond to specific amino acids.
