found in the ribosomes, the site of protein synthesis — the stitching together of amino acids to make a protein molecule.

transfer amino acids to the ribosomes, as specified by mRNA

The process of turning an mRNA code into a specific protein – happens at the ribosomes.

The process of making an mRNA copy of a DNA strand. Occurs in the nucleus of the cell.

A set of three letters of RNA that code for an amino acid

A biomolecule that is often an enzyme to speed up chemical reactions in cells. Made from amino acids.

A change in the sequence of an organism’s DNA

*5 carbon sugar ribose

*Phosphate group

*Nitrogen bases

*A pairs with U

*C pairs with G

*Usually single-stranded

Adenine

Cytosine

Guanine

Uracil

RNA carries the "message" from the nucleus to the _______?

What includes transcription and translation?

The combined processes of transcription and translation

DNA > RNA > PROTEINS

Requires the enzyme RNA polymerase

segments that do not code for proteins: "expressed"

sections that don't code for proteins: "junk"

• *binds to promoter sequences on DNA

• *separates the strands
