What is transcription?
Making RNA from a DNA template.
What is translation?
Using mRNA to build a polypeptide.
What does mRNA do?
Carries the coding message to the ribosome.
What does tRNA do?
Delivers amino acids and uses an anticodon to pair with an mRNA codon.
What does rRNA do?
Forms part of the ribosome and helps catalyze peptide-bond formation.
What is a codon?
A three-nucleotide sequence on mRNA.
What is an anticodon?
A three-nucleotide sequence on tRNA that pairs with an mRNA codon.
What bond connects amino acids?
A peptide bond
What is a stop codon?
An mRNA codon that signals termination of translation.
