| Unlike DNA, RNA contains______? | uracil |
| During transcription, where is mRNA molecule formed? | inside the nucleus |
| During translation, the type of amino acid that is added to the growing polypeptide depends on the ____? | codon on the mRNA & the anticodon on the tRNA to which the amino acid is attached |
| RNA differs from DNA in that RNA has? | contains the nitrogen base uracil |
