What type of RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA

Front

Which enzyme is responsible for coding mRNA from DNA instructions?

Back

RNA Polymerase

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs, assembling amino acids into proteins based on the mRNA template.

Front

What is the function of messenger RNA (mRNA)?

Back

mRNA carries genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes for protein synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying DNA into mRNA, while translation is the process of assembling proteins based on the mRNA sequence.

Front

What are the three main types of RNA involved in protein synthesis?

Back

mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), and rRNA (ribosomal RNA).

Front

What is the role of transfer RNA (tRNA) in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA brings the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome during translation, matching them to the codons on the mRNA.
