What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?
What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?
mRNA is transcribed from a DNA template and carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosome for translation.
How are amino acids attached to tRNA during translation?
How are amino acids attached to tRNA during translation?
Each amino acid attaches to its proper tRNA with the help of a specific enzyme and ATP.
What is the role of the anticodon in tRNA?
What is the role of the anticodon in tRNA?
