|---|
| tRNA | Structure that carries specific amino acids that locks into the ribosome to build proteins |
| point mutation | one base pair swapped out for another incorrect one |
| Replication | process of copying a nucleotide sequence of DNA to form a complementary strand of DNA |
| DNA polymerase | enzyme that makes bonds between nucleotides in the formation of DNA |
| mutation | change in DNA |
| translation | process where mRNA is decoded and a protein is produced |
| codon | mRNA segments that are 3 base pairs long |
| frameshift mutation | one base pair is lost/added and the rest have to move to make room or fill in |
| mRNA | carries the code from the nucleus to the ribosome |
| peptide | bond holding amino acids together |
| transcription | process of copying a nucleotide sequence of DNA to form a complementary strand of mRNA |
| chromosomal mutations | whole sections of chromosomes missing or incorrect |
