|
RNA |
Acts as a messenger carring instrutions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins, althrough in some viruses RNA rather than DNA carries the genetic information |

|
DNA polymerase |
Are emzymes that create DNA molecules by assembling nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA |
|
|
RNA polymerase |
Is an enzyme that produces primary transcrip RNA |
|
|
Translation |
Is the process in which cellular ribosomes create proteins |
|
|
Replication |
The action of copying or reproducing something |
|
|
Transcription |
A writter or printed representation of something |
|
|
Transfer RNA (tRNA) |
Small RNA molecules that carry amino acids to the ribosome for polymerization into a polypeptide |
|
|
Messenger RNA (mRNA) |
Is a large family of RNA molecules that convey genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes |
|
|
Ribosomes RNA (rRNA) |
Perform critical function in the ribosome that allow protein synthesis to occur |
