NGSS.HS-LS1-6

A sequence of 3 nucleotides. The order determines what amino acid will be made in a protein. It can also start or stop protein synthesis.

• Double Helix
• Triplet Code/ Codon
• Anticodon
• Nitrogen Bases

6. What is the name of the repeating units that make up DNA? Do not use punctuation or capitalization of letters in your answer or it will be marked as incorrect.

The 4 chemicals that help to make up the rungs of the ladder, Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine (A, T, C, G), are also known as:

• Nucleotides

• Double Helixes

• Transcriptions

• Nitrogen Bases

Groups of 3 bases are called

• codons
• codes
• DNA
• RNA

Mutations can be caused by
