What are the four nitrogen bases found in RNA?Adenine, Uracil, Cytosine, and Guanine
The process of making an mRNA copy of DNA?Transcription
The process of using the code in mRNA to build a protein?Translation
The building blocks of protein areAmino Acids
The whole process in which proteins are made from the information carried in DNA is called?Gene Expression
