Codon that signals the end of an amino acid chain.
What is a stop codon?
The type of bond that joins sugars and phosphates.
What is a covalent bond?
The small fragments of DNA produced on the lagging strand during replication.
What are Okazaki fragments?
The name for a set of three bases on a strand of mRNA.
What are codons?
