RNA

Process by which the sequence of bases of mRNA is converted into amino acids

• Transcription

• Translation

• DNA

A group of 3 bases that are complementary to the three bases of the codon of mRNA

• Anti-Codon

• Genes

• RNA

A long chain of amino acids that make a protein

• Codon

• Anti-Codon

• Polypeptides

A collection of codons of mRNA, which directs the amino acids during protein synthesis

• RNA

• Genes

• Genetic Code

A group of 3 nucleotides bases in mRNA that specify a particular amino acid to be incorporated onto a protein

• Codon

• Genetic Code

• Chromosomes

Chemical or physical agents in the environment that interact with DNA and can cause a mutation

• Mutagens

• Polypeptides

• mRNA

When an organism has an extra set of chromosomes

• Genes

• Polyploidy

• Nucleus

Ribonucleic acid, a nucleic acid present in all living cells that carries out many functions

• DNA

• RNA

• Cells

Carries copies of instructions for assembly

• mRNA

• tRNA

• rRNA

Combines with proteins to form ribosomes
