| monomer of nucleic acids made up of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base | ||
| deoxyribonucleic acid; the genetic material that carries information about an organism that is passed from parent to offspring AND is used by an individual as the recipe for making proteins | ||
| process of copying the DNA molecule | ||
| Nitrogen base that pairs with guanine. | ||
| Nitrogen base that pairs with cytosine. | ||
| nitrogen base found ONLY in DNA that pairs with adenine | ||
| nitrogen base found in DNA and RNA; pairs with thymine in DNA and with uracil in RNA | ||
| Figured out structure of DNA was a double helix | ||
| RNA that copies the coded message from DNA in the nucleus and carries the message into the cytoplasm | ||
| type of RNA molecule that transfers amino acids to ribosomes during protein synthesis | ||
| RNA that is in the ribosome and guides the translation of mRNA into a protein (acts as the glue) | ||
| the process of synthesizing RNA by using one strand of a DNA molecule as a template | ||
| ribonucleic acid; a nucleic acid that plays an important role in the production of proteins | ||
| Process in which mRNA attaches to the ribosome and a protein is assembled | ||
| three-nucleotide sequence on messenger RNA that codes for a single amino acid | ||
| group of three bases on a tRNA molecule that are complementary to an mRNA codon | ||
| 3 bases of DNA that code for a single amino acid | ||
| a change in a cell's genetic material. Once the genetic material has changed, the change is inherited by the offspring of that CELL | ||
