- Q7What is the function of tRNA during protein synthesis?tRNA binds to DNAtRNA synthesizes proteins from amino acidstRNA transports amino acids to the ribosometRNA catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds300s
- Q8What is the role of mRNA in protein synthesis?mRNA synthesizes amino acidsmRNA binds to tRNA during translationmRNA helps in the formation of ribosomesmRNA carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome300s
- Q9What is the role of the amino acid sequence in a protein?It helps in cell division.It supports membrane transport.It determines the protein's structure and function.It stores genetic information.300s
