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 tRNA in translation?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome and matches them to the codons in mRNA.

Front

What is a ribosome?

Back

A ribosome is a molecular machine that facilitates the translation of mRNA into a polypeptide chain.

Front

Define a codon.

Back

A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that specifies a particular amino acid.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

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