Glutamine

Front

During which process does mRNA occur?

Back

Transcription

Front

What role does tRNA play during translation?

Back

It brings a specific amino acid (decided by the codon) to the ribosome for translation.

Front

What is the function of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, synthesizing proteins from amino acids.

Front

What is the role of DNA in protein synthesis?

Back

DNA contains the genetic instructions for synthesizing proteins.

Front

What is transcription?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into mRNA.

Front

What is translation?

Back

Translation is the process of decoding mRNA to synthesize proteins.

Front

What is a codon?

Back

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