Front

During replication, this enzyme adds complementary nucleotides to one strand of the unzipped double helix, then proofreads to avoid mutations.

Polymerase

Front

What is the function of mRNA?

Back

To carry the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What are the three types of RNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

To transport amino acids to the ribosome and match them to the coded mRNA sequence.

Front

What is the role of rRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

To make up the structure of ribosomes and facilitate the translation of mRNA into proteins.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of making mRNA from DNA, while translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA.
