genetic code
|
|
|
a group of three sequential nitrogen bases of an mRNA molecule.
|
codon
|
|
|
the process of converting the genetic code in RNA into the amino acid sequence that makes up a protein.
|
translation
|
|
|
a region of tRNA consisting of three bases complementary to the codon of mRNA.
|
anticodon
|
|
|
specific sequence of nucleotides that marks the end of a gene in eukaryotes.
|
termination signal
|
|
|
a nucleotide sequence on a DNA molecule that, when attached to an RNA polymerase molecule, will initiate transcription of a specific structural gene.
