Nucleotide basic unit or building block of DNA & RNA; composed of a sugar, a phosphate, and a nucleic acid
Adenine nucleic acid found in both DNA & RNA; pairs with Thymine in DNA; pairs with Uracil in RNA
Guanine nucleic acid found in both DNA & RNA; pairs with Cytosine
Cytosine nucleic acid found in both DNA & RNA; pairs with Guanine
Thymine nucleic acid only found in DNA; pairs with Adenine
Uracil nucleic acid only found in RNA; pairs with Adenine
DNA Backbone form the sides of the DNA/RNA molecule; made of sugar and phosphate
Ribosome found in the cytoplasm of living cells and serves as the site of protein synthesis
Codon three consecutive nucleotides that specify a single amino acid
Translation process that decodes mRNA to make proteins
Amino Acid join together to make proteins
Anticodon three adjacent nucleotides in transfer RNA that binds to a corresponding codon in messenger RNA and designates a specific amino acid during protein synthesis.
Transcription process by which messenger RNA is synthesized from a DNA template
Gene part of DNA sequence that codes for a specific trait
tRNA type of nucleic acid that transports a specific amino acid to a ribosome during protein synthesis
Chromosome single molecule of DNA bonded to various proteins and that carries the genes determining heredity
mRNA type of nucleic acid that carries genetic information from the cell nucleus to ribosomes in the cytoplasm; serves as a template for protein synthesis; synthesized from a DNA template during the process of transcription

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
