Which nitrogen base is not found in mRNA?

• Adenine

• Cytosine.

• Guanine.

• Thymine.

The new nitrogen base that is found in mRNA is called

• Duracil.

• Uranus.

• Uracil.

• mThymine.

The process that reads the mRNA to assemble the appropriate amino acids is called

• transcription.

• transaction.

• translation.

• typing.

The mRNA bases are read in groups of

• 1.

• 2.

• 3.

• 4.

The base groupings from the mRNA are called

• codons.

• triads.

• bases.

• molecules.

When DNA is isolated from a cell and stretched out, DNA looks like a

• staircase.

• sugar cube.

• twisted ladder.

• twizzler.

Speaking of the structure of DNA, the rungs of the DNA ladder are made of pairs of small chemicals called

• bars.

• rungs.

• bases.

• backbones.
