200
It is single stranded.
What is RNA
200
Each parent strand serves as this for the incoming nucleotides.

300
The two steps of protein synthesis.
What transcription and translation.
400
Its shape is like a twisted ladder, or this more scientific sounding description.
What is a double helix?
400
the monomer is a nucleotide.
What is DNA and RNA?
400
It helps form the covalent bonds between the sugar and phosphate groups on the new strands.
What is DNA polymerase?
400
A sequence of 3 nitrogen bases that codes for an amino acid.
What is a codon?
400
It brings in the correct amino acids when a protein is being made.
What is transfer RNA.

What is A pairs with T AND G pairs with C?
500
It can be found in the nucleus.
What is DNA and RNA.
500
The end result is two DNA molecules each with one NEW and one OLD strand.
What is semi-conservative replication?
500
It was the project that figured out the sequence of nitrogen bases in a human's DNA.
What is the Human Genome Project?
500
Because DNA can't leave the nucleus.
Why is messenger RNA necessary?
