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?

Back

tRNA transports amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Front

What is the difference between DNA replication and transcription?

Back

Replication copies DNA, while transcription converts DNA into RNA.

Front
