What are the codon and anti codon?
The codon is the three bases found on the mRNA and the anti codon is the three complementary bases found on the tRNA.

What do you call a mutation where the order of the bases on DNA is changed?
Point Mutation.

Where do transcription and translation take place?
Transcription (nucleus) Translation (cytoplasm)

What are Watson & Crick famous for?
The structure of DNA

What is a well-established set of results that explains a phenomenon?
What is a theory.
400
What do you call a mutation where a base is added?
Insertion.

What are the steps of translation?
1. Ribosome subunit binds around mRNA
2. mRNA moves through the ribosome and tRNA brings the according bases and AA which are added to the chains.
3. Assembly ends at the "STOP" codon.
4. The protein and mRNA molecule is released.

What are the steps of the scientific method in correct order.
1. RNA polymerase binds to one strand of DNA at the promoter.
2. The strand passes through the RNA polymerase as bases build mRNA.
3. RNA polymerase stops at the termination site.
4. Non-coding regions are removed and a cap and tail is added.
