| Protein’s Monomer | Amino Acids |
| Codon | A sequence of three consecutive nucleotides in a DNA or RNA molecule that codes for a specific amino acid. |
| Genes | Are made up of DNA. |
| Transcription | The process by which a cell makes an RNA copy of a piece of DNA. |
| Translation | The process through which information encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA) directs the addition of amino acids during protein synthesis. |
| Three bases for | One codon. |
