| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A type of nucleic acid consisting of nucleotide monomers with a ribose sugar and nitrogenous bases. It is usually single stranded and functions in protein synthesis and as the genome of some viruses | ribonucleic Acid |
| A three-dimensional polymer made of amino acid monomers. A protein’s form and function are determined by a cell’s nucleic acid sequence | protein |
| The synthesis of protein using the genetic information encoded in mRNA | translation |
| A complete set of the genes in one organism | Genome |
| The likely course a disease will take over an individual’s lifetime | Prognosis |
| A type of RNA that is transcribed from DNA and translated by ribosomes in the cytoplasm to produce proteins | Messenger RNA |
| A sequence of nucleotides that codes for a protein, resulting in a specific phenotype | gene |
| A rare change in genetic material, which ultimately creates genetic diversity within a species | mutation |
| The synthesis of RNA from a DNA template | Transcription |
