A group of three bases on a tRNA molecule that is complementary to three bases on an mRNA codon
Anticodon
A group of three bases on a tRNA molecule that is complementary to three bases on an mRNA codon. Anticodon. An anticodon is a sequence on tRNA that pairs with a matching codon on mRNA during protein synthesis.

States that in DNA, guanine bonds with cytosine and adenine bonds with thymine
Base pairing rule
States that in DNA, guanine bonds with cytosine and adenine bonds with thymine. Base pairing rule. Its a rule in genetics that describes how the bases in the DNA strands pair up to form the structure of DNA.

RNA that transfers information from DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm, to make proteins
Messenger RNA
RNA that transfers information from DNA in the nucleus to the cytoplasm, to make proteins. messenger RNA. Messenger RNA mRNA is a molecule that carries genetic instructions from DNA to the cell's protein-making machinery.

A nucleic acid sub unit that consists of a sugar, phosphate, and a nitrogenous base
Nucleotide
A nucleic acid sub unit that consists of a sugar, phosphate, and a nitrogenous base. nucleotide. A nucleotide is the basic building block of DNA and RNA, which are the molecules that store and transmit genetic information.

A section of DNA that contains the code to begin and regulate transcription, and build a protein
Operon
A section of DNA that contains the code to begin and regulate transcription, and build a protein. Operon. An operon is a cluster of genes under the control of a single promoter, functioning as a unit to produce messenger RNA in bacteria.

RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosomes during protein synthesis
Transfer RNA
RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosomes during protein synthesis. Transfer RNA. Transfer RNA tRNA is a molecule that helps decode a messenger RNA mRNA sequence into a protein by bringing the right amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
