A type of nuleic acid, a macromolecule that stores genetic information.

Tells your body how to build everything it needs to survive .

Gives a cell all the instucions of making a protien.

Each DNA nucleotide has a 5 carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases: A ( adenine), T ( thymine), C ( cytosine), or G ( guanine).

These bases pair up in very specific way between to DNA stands: A always pairs with T, and C always pairs with G.

Happens inside the nucleus. Proteins called enzymes unzip up the Dna strand, Then new ncleotides match up with exposed bases, creating two identical DNA strands.

Happens inside the nuclues, the control center of the cell. A gene in the DNA is copied into a different molecule called RNA.

Is like a photocopy of the gene it carries the instuctions out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm, the jelly-like area outside the nucleus where the rest of the cell's work happens.

Each tRNA carries a specific amino acid and has a special three-letter code called an anticodon.
