Term
[image]Transcription
Definition
It's making a genetic info that will be get put into a strand of DNA and then it will be made into a strand of RNA.
Term
[image]Translation
Definition
It's were the genetic code are put into into a specific order of amino acids then into a chain.
Term
[image]mRNA
Definition
A messenger form that is like a blueprint for the proteins
Term
[image]Codon
Definition
A set of three,also called a triplet that base pair with bases.
Term
Anticodon
Definition
A sequence of three nucleotides that are located at one end to transfer RNA.
Term
[image]tRNA
Definition
Protien synthesis,and letting amino acids travel to the ribosome.
Term
[image]Amino Acid
Definition
A building block for the protein that has to be coded and linked through bonds
Term
[image]Uracil
Definition
A base found in RNA that comes from pyrimidine
Term
[image]Base Pairing
Definition
A specific bonding bewteen nucleotides  in double strands.
Term
[image]Protein
Definition
It's a molecule joined by bonds and composed of polymers and amino acids
Term
[image]Nucleus
Definition
The organelle that contains and stores the information of a cell.And it is involved with transcription and translation because the information of DNA is not directly turted into proteins it has to be copied into RNA just to make sure the DNA will not get tainted.
Term
[image]Cytoplasm
Definition
A jelly substance that contains and holds the organelles in place.And it goes with translation and transcription because the proteins are in the cytoplasm the mRNA must cross the membrane to get to the cytoplasm
Term
[image]3 differences between DNA and RNA
Definition

1)DNA is self replicating and RNA is synthesized.

2)DNA is double-stranded and RNA is single-stranded

3)DNA is less reactive because of C-H bonds and RNA is more reactive because of C-OH 

Term
[image]Purpose of Transcription
Definition
The process when genes get copied into a messenger by polymerase
Term
[image]Purpose of Translation
Definition
The mRNA is formed and transported through 3 organelle's and gets into the cell protein synthesis factory
Term
[image]Product of Transcription
Definition
To take RNA and make it into protein
Term
[image]Product of Translation
Definition
To make a specific protein have a function
Term
[image]Mutation
Definition
The process of changing in nature,and in quality
Term
[image]Nucleotide
Definition
Building blocks of DNA,RNA,Nucleic acids and it's an organic compound
Term
[image]Ribosome
Definition
Round small particles made up of RNA that are involved in assembly of proteins.Ribosome are associated with translation and transcription because once in the cytoplasm the ribosomes and RNA molecule work together to translate mRNA into proteins
