gene mutation in which a single base pair in DNA has been changed

process of duplicating base sequence from DNA to RNA

Incorrect base inserted or base being skipped; changes sequence & genetic material

group of three bases on a tRNA molecule that are complementary to an mRNA codon

Insertation / deletion of genetic message

Process by which mRNA is decoded and a protein is produced

A complex molecule containing the genetic information; instructions for inheritance carried by cells

codon that signals to ribosomes to stop translation

A part of the cell containing DNA

made up of amino acids made in translation

codon that signals to ribosomes to begin translation; codes for the first amino acid in a protein;AUG

single-stranded nucleic acid that contains the sugar ribose and uracil;made from transcription

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

Sends instructions for protein from nucleus to ribosome

a sequence of three nucleotides that together form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule.

compound with an amino group on one end and a carboxyl group on the other end

type of RNA molecule that transfers amino acids to ribosomes during protein synthesis

site of protein synthesis;makes it

type of RNA that makes up part of the ribosome& attaches too
