NGSS.HS-LS1-1

copies the genetic instructions from DNA in the nucleus, and carries them to the cytoplasm

• transfer RNA (tRNA)
• ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
• messenger RNA (mRNA)
• codon

within each species, concentration of adenine was always about the same as the concentration of thymine, same was true of the concentrations of guanine and cytosine

• Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
• messenger RNA (mRNA)
• Chargaff’s Rules
• genetic code

consists of the sequence of nitrogen bases—A, C, G, T (or U)—in a polynucleotide chain

• codon
• genetic code
• transcription
• Central Dogma of Molecular Biology

letters are combined in groups of three to form code “words

• codon
• transcription
• Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
• messenger RNA (mRNA)

first part of the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA → RNA. It is the transfer of genetic instructions in DNA to mRNA. During transcription, a strand of mRNA is made that is complementary to a strand of DNA

• transcription
• translation
• protein synthesis

second part of the central dogma of molecular biology: RNA → Protein, process in which the genetic code in mRNA is read to make a protein

• transcription
• translation
• protein synthesis
• promoter

process in which cells make proteins

• protein synthesis
• translation
• transfer RNA (tRNA)
• ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
