What is transfer RNA?

300
A mutation that results in a change in amino acid sequence and a non-functional protein.
What is an expressed mutation?
300

These special types of proteins help to speed up reactions in the body.

What are Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Uracil?

400
Groups of three bases on a mRNA molecule
What is a codon?
400
The type of mutation that happens when a base is either deleted or inserted, causing a change in the reading of codons and amino acids.
What is a frameshift?
400
A disease that results in a change in the shape of hemoglobin in red blood cells due to a point mutation.
What is sickle cell anemia?
500

The reason why DNA transcription happens

What is because DNA cannot leave the nucleus (but has instruction to make proteins in the ribosome)
