What is the end product of translation?
What is protein
200

The parts of DNA that work together n prokaryotic cells to determine if a gene is expressed (on) or not (off)

What is an operon?

How many nucleotides make 1 codon on mRNA
What is 3

Why is tRNA called a carrier molecule
Carries the amino acid and will added AA to chain once bound

A feedback process that works to reverse a change (e.g., if something is being increase, this feedback process works to decrease it)

What is negative feedback process?
