What are codons and what is it made of? Be specific.
Codons are three bases made up of (A, G, C, and/or U)
400

DNA is double stranded. Both strands are said to be...

complementary

400

The START codon

AUG

400

Enzyme that unzips DNA before replication

DNA helicase

Why does transcription take place?
DNA cannot leave the nucleus and therefore must be transcribed to mRNA to leave the nucleus.
