Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes facilitate the translation of mRNA into proteins.

Front

What is the function of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the significance of the start codon AUG?

Back

AUG signals the start of translation and codes for Methionine.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that codes for a specific amino acid.

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 a peptide bond?

Back

A peptide bond is the chemical bond that links amino acids together in a protein.
