|---|---|
| nucleic acid-a molecule made of nucleotides linked together. | ribonucleic acid |
| nucleotide contain this nitrogen base. Abreviated as U. | uracil |
| the instructions for making a protein are transferred from a gene to an RNA molecule. This process is called ___. | transcription |
| cells then use two different types of RNA to read the instructions on the RNA molecule and put together the amino acids that make up the protein. | translation |
| the entire process by which proteins are made based on the information encoded in DNA is called ___. | gene expression |
| an enzyme that adds and links complementary nucleotides during transcription. | RNA polymerase |
| a form of RNA that carries the instructions for making a protein from a gene and delivers it to the site of translation. | messenger RNA |
| RNA instructions are written as a series of three-nucleotide sequences on the mRNA. | codons |
| the amino acids and "start" and "stop" signals that are coded for by each of the possible 64 mRNA codons. | genetic code |
| single strands of RNA that temporarily carry a specific amino acid on each end. | transfer RNA |
| three-nucleotide sequence on a tRNA that is complementary to an mRNA codon. | anticodon |
| RNA molecules that are part of the structure of ribosomes. | Ribosomal DNA |
| The piece of DNA that overlaps the promoter site and serves as the on-off switch . | operator |
