protein synthesis   the formation of proteins using information coded on DNA and carried by RNA  
🗑
DNAase   checks DNA to see if there are any mistakes  
🗑
start codon   the codon AUG which engages a ribosome to start translating a ribosome to start translating an mRNA molecule  
🗑
stop codon   causes the ribosome to stop translating mRNA; UAA, UAG, UGA  
🗑
RNA translation   mRNA to tRNA
