Front

What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in cells?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis where amino acids are assembled into proteins.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

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

Front

What are the building blocks of proteins?

Back

Amino acids.

Front

What is the significance of the genetic code?

Back

The genetic code determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein, which affects its structure and function.
