| What does a chromatin do | Coils up when undergoing cell division |
| What are the three parts of DNA | The three parts of a DNA phosphate, sugar, and nitrogenous bases |
| The types of nitrogenous bases | 1)Adenine and Thymine 2) Guanine and Cytosine 3) Nucleotide |
| What is a codon | A 3 Nucleotide sequence in which the order of the nitrogenous bases make up a certain amino acid |
| What does a nucleotide do | Carrying out metabolic and physiological activities |
