This double-stranded molecule holds the genetic code for all living organisms and stays safely inside the nucleus.
What is DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)
part of a cell responsible for translation of mRNA into proteins
what is a Ribosome
the number of chromosomes in sperm and egg cells in humans

This single-stranded molecule is built inside the nucleus and carries genetic instructions out to the ribosome.
What is mRNA (Messenger RNA)
It’s the process where a segment of DNA is copied into a complementary strand of mRNA.

What the 'skin system' is really called
what is the integumentary system?

What is diverse offspring
Unlike DNA, which uses thymine (T), mRNA uses this nitrogenous base to pair with adenine (A).
What is uracil?
The chemical formula for Glucose
C6H12O6
If a DNA strand reads TAC-GGC, the complementary mRNA strand produced during transcription will read this.
