|---|
| DNA | dexoyriboe nucleic acid. Genetic infomation |
| RNA | Contains the sugar ribose, the base uracil replaces thymine, and usually a single stand |
| Replication | when the DNA is replicated |
| Transcription | The DNA code is transferred to mRNA in the nucleus |
| Translation | tRNA molecules act as the interpreters of the mRNA codon sequence. This is whe the code is read and translated to make a protein |
| Codon | the three-base code in DNA or mRNA |
| Anticodon | At the middle of the folded strand, there is a three-base coding sequence |
| Genes | Controls inherited trait expression that is passed on from one generation to another generation. |
| mRNA/ Messenger RNA | Carries genetic information from DNA in the nucleus to direct protein synthesis in the cytoplasm |
| rRNA/ Ribosomal RNA | Associates with protein yo form the ribosome |
| tRNA/ Transfer RNA/ Anticodon | Transports amino acids to the ribosome |
| cDNA/ Complementary DNA | mRNA is isolated and converted to cDNA |
| mtDNA/ Mother DNA | DNA that is in the mitochondrion |
