type of RNA that transports amino acids to the ribosome for protein synthesis.

• messenger RNA

• transfer RNA

• ribosomal RNA

type of RNA that associates with proteins to form ribosomes

• messenger RNA

• transfer RNA

• ribosomal RNA

Nitrogen base that pairs with adenine in RNA.

• thymine

• adenine

• uracil

The DNA strand that provides the template for ordering the sequence of nucleotides in an mRNA transcript.

• complimentary strand

• RNA

• amino acids

• template strand

process in which mRNA attaches to the ribosome and a protein is assembled -the code of mRNA is translated into an amino acid.

• transcription

• translation

• amino acids

• ribose sugar

process in which mRNA is synthesized from the template DNA. DNA is re-written into mRNA.

• transcription

• translation

• amino acids

• ribose sugar

monomers of proteins, coded for by the mRNA during transcription

• transcription

• translation

• amino acids
