These are the 3 codons called stop codons.
What are UAA, UAG and GUA
This is the name given to the strand of DNA that is copied over into the RNA format.
What is the Transcribed strand.
This term describes the genetic code as having several codons that code for the same amino acid.
What is "the code is redundant but not ambiguious".
This is what the primary transcript is called in eukaryotes.
What is pre-mRNA.
This is the name of the enzyme needed to attach an amino acid to a tRNA.
What is AMINOACYL- tRNA SYNTHETASE.
This is the name given to the event where several ribosomes can translate on the same strand of nRNA.
What is polyribosome.
This is the name given to a triplet of bases on the RNA transcript.
What is a codon.
This is the name of the enzyme responsible for rewriting the genetic information from the DNA format to the RNA format.
What is RNA polymerase.
These are the units of the mRNA that code for a particular polypeptide.
What are exons.
This is the anticodon of the tRNA that will bind to the start codon.
What is UAC.
The replacement of a given base with a different base that causes a different amino acid to be brought in, is this type of mutation.

What is the Transcription Unit.
These are the units of the mRNA that are removed, from the pre-mRNA, to help the polypeptide funtion correctly after it is produced.
What are introns.

What is a nonsense mutation.
This is the sequence of bases that make up the start codon.
What is AUG.
This is where binding proteins initially bind so RNA polymerase can bind to the transcription unit.
What is the TATA box.
This si the name of the molecule that has the function of removing the introns from the pre-mRNA.
