300
What are codons and what is it made of? Be specific.
Codons are three bases made up of (A, G, C, and/or U)
400
What are the three components of a nucleotide?
Phosphate group, sugar, and base (A, T, C, or G)
400
The START codon
What is AUG?
400
A change in DNA sequence (like a dropped nucleotide)
What is a mutation?

Why does transcription take place?
DNA cannot leave the nucleus and therefore must be transcribed to mRNA to leave the nucleus.
