1. RNA- nucleic acid that consists of a long chain of nucleotides.

2. Codon- each three-letter "word" in mRNA.

3. Amino acid- a chain of three bases that code for proteins in the body.

4. Genetic code- transcribes a nucleotide base sequence from DNA to RNA.

5. Transcription- segments of DNA serve as templates to produce complementary mRNA molecules.

6. Translation- when protein is synthesized.

7. Polypeptide chain- single linear chain of many amino acids, held together by amino bonds.

8. Anticodon- 3 nucleotides forming a unit of genetic code.

9. Mutation- heritable changes in genetic information,

10. Gene expression- the decoding of mRNA messages into a protein.

RNA and protein synthesis are important to know about. We find most of our viruses information in RNA. Without RNA, we wouldn't be able to have access to this information.

- Information is transferred from DNA --> RNA --> protein

-Transcription comes before translation. Transcription requires the enzyme RNA polymerase which binds together during this process. Translation is the decoding of mRNA messages into protein.

1. Is a protein officially being assembled during transcription or during translation?
Answer: During translation

2. What is mRNA made from?
Answer: DNA

3. What does gene regulation allow cells to do?
Answer: It allows cells to react quickly to environment change

4. Why are codons and anticodons important to protein structure?
Answer: Ribosomes use the sequence of codons in mRNA to assemble amino acids in polypeptide chains. Anticodons are unpaired bases complementary to one codon.
