define condon

• A codon is a single nucleotide.
• A codon consists of three consecutive bases that specify a single amino acid to be added to the polypeptide chain.

• A codon is a type of protein.
• A codon is a sequence of four nucleotides.

define translation in biology

• Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA in ribosomes.
• Translation is the process of breaking down proteins into amino acids.
• Translation refers to the movement of cells during development.
• Translation is the process of converting DNA into RNA.

define anticodon

• A type of protein that binds to mRNA.
• A sequence of three amino acids in a protein.
• A segment of DNA that codes for a gene.
• A sequence of three nucleotides in tRNA that pairs with a codon in mRNA.

how does the genetic code work

• The genetic code translates sequences of nucleotides into amino acids using codons.
• The genetic code is only found in RNA, not DNA.
• The genetic code is a series of proteins that determine traits.
• The genetic code is a method of storing energy in cells.

what role does the ribosome play in assembling proteins

• Ribosomes store genetic information for protein synthesis.
• Ribosomes are responsible for DNA replication.
• Ribosomes transport proteins to different parts of the cell.
• Ribosomes assemble proteins by translating mRNA into amino acid sequences.

how does molecular biology relate to genetics

• Molecular biology focuses solely on the study of proteins.
• Genetics is unrelated to any molecular processes.
• Molecular biology only deals with cellular structures.
• Molecular biology provides the mechanisms and tools to understand genetic processes at a molecular level.
