| codon | code word for amino acids |
| anticodon | 3 base codon found on tRNA |
| transcription | transfer of information on DNA to mRNA |
| mRNA | messenger RNA, transcription, carry instructions for making protein from DNA to ribosomes |
| rRNA | ribosomal RNA, makes up ribosomes |
| RNA polymerase | enzyme used in transcription |
| tRNA | transfer RNA, translation, brings amino acids in proper order to make protein at ribosomes |
| translation | uses tRNA to bring amino acids to the ribosome, where rRNA binds the amino acids together to form a specific protein |
| uracil | nitrogen base used in RNA |
| protein synthesis | manufacture of proteins |
