What are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase?
A pair of chromosomes that have the same genes on them
What are homologous chromosomes?
The two parts of a nucleotide that make up the sides of the DNA ladder
What are phosphate and sugar?
The first step in transcription
What is unzipping the DNA?
The two main things on a tRNA molecule
What is an anticodon and an amino acid?
