What is "Watson and Crick"
200
What molecule carries the "code" to the ribosomes so a protein can be made?
What is "mRNA"
200
How many bases code for a single amino acid?
What is "three"
300
pyrimidine base that bonds with adenine

400
the process by which DNA is copied
What is "replication"
400

protein is a polymer of ___________
What is "amino acids"
500
pyrimidine base that bonds with guanine
What is "cytosine"
500
"change" or "mistake" that occurs when DNA is copied
What is "mutation"
500
What four nitrogen bases are found in RNA?
What is "A, U, C and G"
