Protein Synthesis

The step of converting mRNA to a protein

• transcription

• translation

• replication

• anticodon

A set of 3 nucleotides on an mRNA molecule

• anticodon

• codon

• base pairs

• polypeptide

Has an anticodon on one end and an amino acid on the other

• DNA

• mRNA

• tRNA

• rRNA

A chain of amino acids that can fold into a protein

• mRNA

• ribosome

• genetic code

• polypeptide
