| Parental DNA | The original double strand of DNA Serve as the template for DNA replication |
| Leading Strand | Made continuously DNA polymerase stays on template |
| Lagging Strand | Built in pieces that need to be put together |
| DNA Polymerase | Enzyme that is making the DNA (Building it) |
| DNA Ligase | Connects the DNA fragments to make a continuous strand |
| Helicase | Enzyme that binds together the helix Separate double-stranded DNA |
| RNA | Ribonucleic Acid One stranded ribonucleic sugar |
| Transcription | Processes of making RNA copies |
| RNA Polymerase | Synthesizes the formation of RNA and DNA |
| Translation | Process by which protein is synthesized |
| Condon | Sequence of 3 nucleotides |
| tRNA | Transfer RNA |
| Anticodon | Unit of genetic code in transfer of RNA molecules |
| mRNA | messenger RNA Carries information from the nucleus to the ribosomes |
