DNA and Genes Vocab Quiz

two strands of nucleotides wound about each other; structure of DNA

• nitrogenous base

• double helix

• codon

• mutation

binds to mRNA and uses the instructions to assemble the amino acids in the correct order

• Messenger Rna (mrna)

• Transfer Rna (trna)

• Codon

• Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

form of RNA that brings amino acids to ribosome to be assembled into a protein

• Ribosomal Rna (rrna)

• Transfer RNA (tRNA)

• Messenger Rna (mrna)

• Transcription

A chemical or physical agent that interacts with DNA and causes a mutation.

• chromosomal mutation

• codon

• mutagen

• mutation
