What is messenger, transfer, & ribosomal or mRNA, tRNA, rRNA
300
Ribose, a phosphate group and a nitrogen base
What is RNA
400
DNA that is tightly wound around proteins and resemble an X
What is a chromosome
400
This type of RNA brings amino acids to the ribosome in order to make proteins
What is tRNA
400
When one base in a sequence of DNA is changed
What is a point mutation
400
This enzyme binds to the DNA in order to unzip and make the mRNA
What is RNA polymerase
400
When mRNA leaves the nucleus, attaches to a ribosome, is decoded by tRNA, and pops off a completed protein
