200
The transcript made from DNA.
What is mRNA?
200
A string of bases added to the 3' end of RNA.
What is poly A tail?
200
The start sequence.

What is 5'-3'?
300
The molecule binds to a site upstream of the gene.
What is initiation?
300
parts of RNA not left in for translation.

300
The kind of RNA that adds amino acids.
What is tRNA?
400
The bases in RNA
What are A, U, C, G?
400
The area where DNA is unbound and replication is taking place.
What is a replication bubble?
400
The molecule that transcribes DNA.
