Term

Transcription[image]

Definition
DNA opens up and lets the RNA copy and then the RNA leaves.
Term
Translation[image]
Definition
Ribosomes take the copied RNA and they read it.
Term
[image]mRNA
Definition
mRNA is a group of RNA that copies down the message of the DNA.
Term
Codon[image]
Definition
A group of three nucleotides that create a unit of gentic code in either a DNA or RNA molecule.
Term
Anticodon[image]
Definition
A group of three nucleotides that form a genetic code to transfer RNA molecules to a similar codon messenger.
Term
tRNA[image]
Definition
tRNA is called transfer RNA, it is the RNA that is copied and sent to the ribosomes.
Term
[image]Ribosome
Definition
Ribosome is a cell organelle that takes the copied RNA and creates protein.
Term
[image]Amino Acid
Definition
It's what proteins are made of.
Term
Uracil[image]
Definition
Uracil is the molecule that replaces Thymine and is one of the four bases that is in RNA.
Term
Base Pairing[image]
Definition

A=T

G=C

This is Chargoff's rule for base pairing.

Term
Protein[image]
Definition
An amino acid that has chains of amino acids.
Term
Nucleus[image]
Definition
The nucleus in a cell is the holder for all of the chromosomes in the cell.
Term
Cytoplasm[image]
Definition
The cytoplasm is the stuff inside the cell that holds everything in the cell.
Term
3 differences between RNA and DNA[image]
Definition

RNA has one strand while DNA is a double helix strand.

RNA has a U instead of a T.

DNA has Deoxyribose while RNA has Ribose.

Term
Purpose of transcription[image]
Definition
The purpose is to produce more protein for the body.
Term
Purpose of translation[image]
Definition
It is where ribosomes produce amino acids through RNA.
Term
Product of transcription[image]
Definition
It creates mRNA.
Term
Pduct of translation[image]
Definition
It creates amino acids
Term
[image]Mutation
Definition
Its when the DNA is changed.
Term
Nucleotide[image]
Definition
Is a carrier package in the nucleus.
