| mRNA to protein | in translation ______ is used to make a _______ |
| translation | the assembling of protein molecules from information encoded in mRNA with tRNA bringing each amino acid used to build the protein |
| cytoplasm | the organelle where translation occurs |
| mRNA | travels from the nucleus to cytoplasm and attaches to a ribosome to provide the code for building a protein |
| tRNA | brings amino acids to the ribosome according to the mRNA code |
| codon | a 3 letter group |
| start codon | a 3 letter group standing for an amino acid that signals the start of a polypeptide |
| stop codon | the 3 letter group that stands for an amino acid that signals the end of a polypeptide |
| polypeptide | a complete group of amino acids (or a protein) |
| anti-codon | the complementary codon on the tRNA that "glues" the mRNA and tRNA together while building the protein |
| adenine | bonds with uracil in RNA |
| thymine | is not used in translation - only used in DNA replication |
| cytosine | bonds with guanine |
| uracil | only used by RNA - bonds with adenine |
