The process of using DNA instructions to make a protein is called
protein synthesis
This type of RNA carries the DNA message to the ribosome
mRNA
The genetic code is read in this many bases at a time
3
Transcription can be defined as this
converting DNA information to mRNA
this enzyme is responsible for building the new mRNA strand
RNA polymerase
These segments are pieced together during RNA processing to make the final mRNA sequence
exons
Translation can be defined as this
converting mRNA to protein
This molecule brings amino acids to the ribosome to build the polypeptide chains
tRNA
These three bases on mRNA code for a particular amino acid
codon
These three bases on tRNA are complementary to the mRNA codon
anticodon
All 20 amino acids are the same with the exception of this groups which gives each amino acids is unique characteristics
R-Group
Multiple polypeptide chains put together make up this level of protein structure
quaternary structure
UV light is an example of this type of substance that can cause genetic mutations
mutagen
Mutations can best be described as this
any change in the DNA sequence
This type of mutation changes one base to another
point mutation
This type of mutation happens when a new base is added or deleted from a DNA sequence
frameshift mutation
