| Base pairs for RNA | Adenine, uracil, guanine, cytosine |
| Three parts of a nucleotide | Sugar, phosphate group, nitrogen base |
| Sugar is DNA | Deoxyribose |
| Sugar in RNA | Ribose |
| Full name of DNA | Deoxyribonucleic Acid |
| Full name of RNA | Ribonucleic Acid |
| Shape of DNA | double helix |
| Shape of RNA | single helix |
| How many strands of DNA are made during DNA replication? | 2 |
| Transcription | The process of getting the message from DNA inside the nucleus. mRNA gets the message. |
| Translation | mRNA takes the message to rRNA (the ribosomes) and tRNA proofreads the mRNA and drops an amino acid. A chain of amino acids makes a protein. |
| Codon | a group of three nitrogen bases on mRNA |
| Anticodon | a group of three nitrogen bases on tRNA - which proofreads the mRNA |
| Monomer of DNA and RNA | nucleotide |
