| Question |
Answer |
| genome | The entire gene sequence of an organism. |
| termination signal | The sequence that tells RNA polymerase that the gene for the protein is complete. |
| genetic code | Rules for how the sequence of bases must be put together to create a particular protein. |
| codon | Three letter sequence on mRNA. |
| anticodon | Three letter sequence on tRNA. |
| mRNA | Takes the code from the nucleus to the ribosomes. |
| tRNA | Brings the correct amino acid in to the ribosome as it matches the mRNA codon. |
| rRNA | ’Spot-Welds’ the amino acids together. |
| RNA polymerase | The enzyme of transcription. |
| protein synthesis | Transcription and translation equals this... |
| ribose | The sugar of RNA |
| promoter | Tells RNA polymerase where to start transcribing a gene for a protein. |
| transcription | This process occurs in the nucleus with DNA and mRNA. |
| translation | This process occurs in the ribosome with rRNA, mRNA, and tRNA. |
| RNA-ribonucleic acid | A nucleic acid that is single stranded and has uracil instead of thymine. |
