| Double Helix | model that compares the structure of a DNA molecule, in which two strands wind another to that of a twisted ladder |
| Deoxyribose | an aldopentose derived from the pentose sugar ribose by the replacement of a hydroxyl group with a hydrogen atom |
| MRNA | form of RNA that carries genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where it serves as a template for protein synthesis |
| TRNA | form of RNA that brings amino acids to ribosomes during protein synthesis |
| Transcription | process of copying a nucleotide sequence of DNA to form a complimentary strand of mRNA |
| Translation | process by which mRNA is decoded and a protein Is produced |
| Codon | sequence of three nucleotides that codes for one amino acid |
| Anti-codon | set of three nucleotides in a tRNA molecule that binds to a complementary mRNA codon during translation |
