| DNA | a double-stranded molecule of ATCG bases |
| RNA | a single-stranded molecule of AUCG bases |
| Chargaff's rules | the amount of A = the amount of T and C=G |
| codon | a group of 3 base pairs that code for one amino acid |
| replication | DNA copying itself in the nucleus before mitosis/meiosis |
| transcription | DNA being matched with RNA in the nucleus |
| translation | RNA code matched with amino acids at the ribosome |
| nucleus | organelle that contains DNA |
| ribosome | site of protein synthesis |
| nucleotide | a piece of DNA consisting of a sugar |
