Transcription & Translation

A DNA or RNA sequence of three nucleotides that forms a unit of genomic information encoding a particular amino acid or signaling the termination of protein synthesis

A sequence of three nucleotides in transfer RNA that binds to a corresponding codon and designates a specific amino acid

the process through which information encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA) directs the addition of amino acids during protein

a sequence of three nucleotides in DNA or messenger RNA (mRNA) that signals a halt to protein synthesis in the cell.

the first codon of a messenger RNA (mRNA) transcript translated by a ribosome.

Controls the differential expression of two 5S RNA genes. Cell.

Prevents transcription of certain pieces of DNA

The strength of the binding interaction between a single biomolecule to its ligand or binding partner.

Any change in the DNA sequence of a cell.

Carries protein information from the DNA in a cell’s nucleus to the cell’s cytoplasm, where the protein-making machinery reads the mRNA sequence and translates each three-base codon into its corresponding amino acid in a growing protein chain.

Transfers an amino acid to the growing chain of amino acids being created in the ribosome.

Reads the order of amino acids and linking amino acids together
