What is mRNA
This is the process by which amino acid chains are made from mRNA codons.
What is translation
These mutations involves missing, extra, or an irregular portion of chromosomal DNA.
What is a chromosomal mutation
This is the central dogma of genetics.
What is: DNA creates RNA, RNA creates proteins, and proteins create traits.

This is the name of the sugar in DNA.
What is deoxyribose
This RNA carries amino acids to the ribosome in translation.
What is tRNA
These are the three phases of translation.
What are initiation, elongation, and termination
This is a mutation that results in a change to one amino acid in a polypeptide.

This RNA travels from the nucleus to the ribosome following transcription.
This would be the tRNA (I REPEAT, tRNA!) sequence that corresponds with the DNA sequence TAC ATA GTG.
What is UAC AUA GTG
Mutations to this portion of DNA, regardless of what kind, will have no effect on the organism's health.
