anti-codon

• collection of codons of mRNA, each of which directs the incorporation of a particular amino acid into a protein during protein synthesis.

codon

• collection of codons of mRNA, each of which directs the incorporation of a particular amino acid into a protein during protein synthesis.

genetic code

• collection of codons of mRNA, each of which directs the incorporation of a particular amino acid into a protein during protein synthesis.

messenger RNA

• the type of RNA that carries copies of instructions for the assembly of amino acids into proteins from DNA to the rest of the cell. Essential to the process of transcription.

Ribosomal RNA

• type of RNA that combines with proteins to form ribosomes in which translation takes place.

Transcription

• the process by which a portion of the molecule of DNA is copied into a complementary strand of RNA

translation

• he process by which the genetic message, carried by the mRNA, is used to assemble a protein

Transfer RNA

• brings amino acids to the ribosome in the order specified by the codon sequence on the mRNA; essential to the process of translation
