What is transfer RNA?
"Haploid" cells have this number of chromosomes in humans.
What are 23 chromosomes or half of the original, diploid number of chromosomes?
These special types of proteins help to unzip DNA and match up complementary nucleotide bases during DNA replication and protein synthesis.
