RNA
Name the 2 types of RNA.
mRNA; tRNA
What are the building blocks of proteins?
Amino Acids
Which nitrogen base is found in RNA, but not found in DNA?
Uracil
What is transcription?
Transcription is the process of forming a strand of RNA from a DNA template.
Where does the process of translation occur?
What is the function of mRNA?
mRNA travels from the nucleus to the ribosomes carrying the protein building instructions.
A ___________ is a section of DNA or RNA that consists of 3 nucleotides that form a code.
codon
Which nitrogen base is found in DNA, but not found in RNA?
Thymine
Where does transcription occur?
Nucleus
What is the mRNA for the DNA strand
AGG CTC GGG
What is the function of tRNA?
tRNA reads the message from mRNA, gathers the correct amino acids, and transports them back to the ribosome.
A sequence of three nitrogen bases is called a _____ and is the code for one _____.
codon; amino acid
