What is the triple beam balance?
Containing a complete set of DNA (one set of chromosomes from each parent)
What is diploid?
Give the names and functions of all three types of RNA
What is mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA?
Messenger RNA- Used to send messages from DNA to be used elsewhere; Create proteins for hormones, repair cells, help the immune system, etc.)
Transfer RNA- Uses “anticodons” to put amino acids in the correct order of mRNA codons
Ribosomal RNA - Forms part of the protein-synthesizing organelle known as a ribosome; Exported to the cytoplasm to help translate the information in messenger RNA (mRNA) into protein
