• What is the significance of protein synthesis?
  

Answer: 
Protein synthesis is crucial as it produces proteins that determine physical traits (e.g., eye color) and regulate metabolic activities (e.g., enzyme functions) based on genetic
instructions.

• Complete the flow chart (Protein Synthesis).
  

Answer:
1. Transcription: DNA unwinds, mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus.
2. mRNA Transport: mRNA moves from nucleus to cytoplasm.
3. Translation: mRNA binds to ribosome, tRNA delivers amino acids, rRNA links amino  acids to form a protein.

• Complete the table (Types of RNA).
  

Answer:
RNA Type Function
mRNA Carries genetic instructions for protein synthesis
tRNA Transfers amino acids to ribosomes
rRNA Forms part of ribosomes, aids in protein assembly
