Front

Define protein synthesis.

Back

The process by which cells generate proteins based on the genetic information in DNA.

Front

What is transcription in the context of protein synthesis?

Back

The process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA.

Front

What is translation in protein synthesis?

Back

The process where ribosomes create proteins by reading mRNA.

Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome.

Front

What is a genotype?

Back

The genetic makeup of an organism, represented by alleles.
