NGSS.HS-LS1-1

Double stranded DNA is unzipped, and one strand is used as a template to form Messenger RNA.

• Translation

• Transcription

• Replication

• Mitosis

Messenger RNA travels out of the nucleus to ribosomes

and is used as a template to assemble a protein.

• Translation

• Transcription

• Replication

• Homeostasis

A single strand of nucleotides coded by DNA

which travels to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm to give instructionsfor building proteins.

• tRNA

• DNA

• mRNA

• rRNA
