Back

tRNA

Front

What is the role of mRNA in translation?

Back

mRNA carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides that corresponds to a specific amino acid.

Front

What is the start codon and its significance?

Back

The start codon is AUG, which signals the beginning of protein synthesis.

Front

What is the function of ribosomal RNA (rRNA)?

Back

rRNA forms the core of the ribosome's structure and catalyzes protein synthesis.

Front

What is the process of translation?

Back

Translation is the process by which ribosomes synthesize proteins using mRNA as a template.
