Double stranded; made of nucleotides; has Thymine (T) not Uracil (U)

Single stranded; made of nucleotides; has Uratracil (U) not Thymine (T)

messenger RNA; made during transcription; carries information from DNA (in the nucleus) to the ribosome; tells ribosome how to make protein

transfer RNA; brings amino acids to the ribosomes; used during translation to make proteins.

process of making a protein; happens at ribosomes

process that makes mRNA; takes place in the nucleus;

site of protein synthesis; found in all cells
