DNA
(Deoxyribonucleic acid) |
|
|
a carbon ring structure that contains one or more atoms of nitrogen; makes up DNA and RNA

Transfer RNA
(tRNA) |
|
|
process, in the nucleus, in which enzymes make an RNA copy of a portion of a DNA strand
|
transcription
|
|
|
process of converting the information in a sequence of nitrogen bases in mRNA into a sequence of amino acids that make up a protein
|
translation
|
|
|
the three-nucleotide sequence that codes for an amino acid(in mRNA)
|
codon
|
|
|
three bases of tRNA that match the codon
|
anticodon
|
|
|
any change in the DNA sequence that also changes the protein it codes for
|
Mutation
|
|
|
a change in a single base pair in DNA
