biology

nucleic acid that acts as an intermediate between gene and protein

dna acts as a template for rna

rna helps in the production of protein

forming proteins based on dna information and carried out by rna

sugar in rna

• -single stranded rna molecule that carries instruction from gene to make a protein
• -transfers amino acids to the ribosome to make a protein
• -part of the structure of ribosomes

enzyme that catalyzes the formation of rna on a dna template, binds to a promoter

specific nucleotide sequence of dna where rna polymerase binds and initians transcription, the polymerase then continues on to unwind the dna strands

specific sequence of nucleotides that signals stop to rna polymerase, releasing the dna and newly made rna

three-nucleotide sequence in mrna that encodes an amino acid or signifies a start or stop signal

three nucleotides on the rna that are cmplementary to the sequence of a codon in mrna
