Front

What is the role of ribosomes in protein synthesis?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites where proteins are assembled from amino acids.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

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

Front

What is a peptide bond?

Back

A peptide bond is a chemical bond that links amino acids together to form 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 role of RNA Polymerase in protein synthesis?

Back

RNA Polymerase synthesizes mRNA from a DNA template.
