Purpose of the ribosome.
What is the site of protein synthesis in a cell?
The 'rungs' of the DNA ladder
What are the nitrogen bases?
The process of mRNA to protein.
What is translation.
The complementary strand to ATGCAC?

the unit is a nucleotide.
What is DNA and RNA?
What pairs with a codon?
What is anticodon?
A sequence of 3 nitrogen bases that codes for an amino acid.
What is a codon?
It brings in the correct amino acids when a protein is being made.
What is transfer RNA.
Nitrogen Base Pairing Rule
What is A pairs with T AND G pairs with C?
It can be found in the nucleus.
What is DNA and mRNA.
What is the product of transcription?
What is mRNA?
How many chromosome are in the human genome?
What is the 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes?
Because DNA can't leave the nucleus.
Why is messenger RNA necessary?
