Central Dogma (protein synthesis)

A type of nucleic acid that will read the DNA and produce amino acids

Produced during transcription from the DNA molecule. Letters change to their partner letters, T becomes U. ex) A-U, T-A, C-G, G-C

Used during translation to bring the correct amino acids to the ribosomes according to the mRNA message. Letters become original DNA letters other than T becoming U

The molecule that is used to create the ribosomes themselves.

The first part of protein synthesis producing mRNA from DNA

The second part of protein synthesis where amino acids are built

The location of transcription

The structure that mRNA uses to move out of the nucleus towards a ribosome.

The cell organelle where amino acids are produced.

Three letter “chunks” of mRNA

Three letter “chunks” of tRNA that matches an mRNA codon and codes for a specific amino acid.

A short cut system used to determine which amino acid matches a specific codon.

The building blocks of protein

The bonds holding amino acids together in a protein forming a polypeptide.
