Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. DNA and RNA contain the genetic information that dictates the sequence of amino acids in a protein, but they themselves are not the components of the protein. mRNA carries the genetic information from the DNA to the ribosome, where proteins are actually synthesized. Codons are the three nucleotide sequences in mRNA that specify a particular amino acid during protein synthesis.
