| DNA | Deoxyribonucleic Acid is the double stranded inherited information for all life instructions that remains in the nucleus except for cell division. |
| mRNA | Messenger Ribonucleic Acid is the single strand used to copy DNA code and carry it out to the ribosome in the cell cytoplasm. |
| Nucleotide | A three part unit (base, sugar, Phosphate) that makes up both DNA and RNA. |
| Sense strand | The DNA strand that hold the codes for RNA. |
| Transcription | The copying of DNA information by RNA for use in the cell cytoplasm. |
| Translation | The reading of the RNA information by the Ribosome. |
| Replication | The making of complete DNA copies that will be divided during cell division. |
| Codons | The three letter codes in DNA. |
| Amino Acids | The building blocks of proteins that the DNA codons code for. |
| tRNA | Transfer Ribonucleic Acid which transfers the correct amino acid to the coded protein being constructed. |
