7. In the figure below, A is ...

• rRNA - a ribsome, the site where proteins are assembled
• mRNA - messenger RNA that brings the genetic code out of the nucleus
• tRNA - molecules that bring amino acids to the ribosome, and match their anti-codons with the codons to assemble proteins

8. In the figure below, B is...

• rRNA - a ribsome, the site where proteins are assembled
• mRNA - messenger RNA that brings the genetic code out of the nucleus
• tRNA - molecules that bring amino acids to the ribosome, and match their anti-codons with the codons to assemble proteins
