DNA/RNA Vocab

The sequence of three nucleotides on transfer RNA that pairs with the codons of messenger RNA

• Codon

• Anticodon

• peptide bond

• stop codon

A type of RNA that transfers the code from DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm

• ribosomal RNA

• RNA polymerase

• messenger RNA

• Transfer RNA

a single strand of nucleotides; different types are used to translate instruction from DNA into making proteins

• RNA polymerase

• ribonucleic acid

• transcription

a sequence of three nucleotide bases that indicates the end of protein synthesis

• codon

• anticodon

• stop codon

• translation

the process occurring in the nucleus of the cell that copies the instructions from a part of DNA onto a strand of messenger RNA
