DNA

Front

Monomer of nucleic acid

Back

Nucleotide

Front

Chromatin/chromosomes

Back

The form of DNA coiled and packed in the nucleus

Front

Ribonucleic Acid; often carries the message of DNA

Back

RNA

Front

Nitrogen Bases

Back

Make up the internal structure of DNA and RNA: A, T, C, and G.

Front

end product of transcription, leaves nucleus to deliver the genetic message of DNA to the ribosomes

Back

Messenger RNA

Front

3 mRNA molecules nucleotides in sequence to code for 1 amino acid ?

Back

Codon

Front

molecule that composes ribosomes to aid in the process of translation

Back

Ribosomal RNA

Front

Transfer RNA; molecule that bonds with amino acids and transfers them to ribosomes for protein synthesis/translation

Back

tRNA

Front

First step in producing proteins - making mRNA from DNA so the genetic message can leave the nucleus; occurs in the nucleus
