| Question | Answer |
| nucleic acids | functions: hereditary, protein synthesis 2 types: DNA/RNA |
| DNA | found in most nuclei, double stranded |
| RNA | found in: nucleus, ribosomes, scattered in cytoplasm composition: giant polymer, single stranded |
| genetic code | determined by sequence of nitrogenous bonds in DNA molecules |
| protein synthesis | gene control of cellular activity by DNA & RNA, DNA passes the code to m-RNA to t-RNA which passes it on to the proteins, the genetic code controls the activities and traits of the cell |
| transcription | code of DNA is transferred to mRNA |
| translation | code of m-RNA is transferred to the order of amino acids via the t-RNA in protein |
| template | the original code of the DNA that is to be copied |
| codon | group of 3 bases in m-RNA |
| anticodon | group of 3 bases in t-RNA |
