| A | B |
| phase in which DNA replicates | "S" |
| amount of time it takes for DNA to replicate | 6 hours |
| initiates the start of new bases coming into place when replicating the DNA | polymerase |
| complimentary base to "A" | "T" |
| complimentary base to "C" | "G" |
| contains "U" instead of "T" | mRNA |
| process in which mRNA codes from DNA template | transcription |
| RNA polymerase | transcription enzyme |
| location where mRNA is released | terminator region |
| parts removed before mRNA leaves nucleus | introns |
| parts left on mRNA | extrons |
| region where mRNA polymerase attaches to DNA | promoter region |
| stage in which the mRNA takes the code out to the ribosome | translation |
| floats into the A site, drops off amino acids | tRNA |
| codon of mRNA | matches the anticodon of tRNA |
