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