DNA/deoxyribonucleic acid - found in the nucleus and carries the genetic information, nucleic acids - macromolecule, CHONP, made of nucleotides, nucleotide - monomers of nucleic acids, composed of a sugar, N base and phophate, base pair rules - A pairs with T and C pairs with G, gene - segment of DNA that codes for a protein, DNA helicase - enzyme that breaks the hydrogen bonds between base pairs during replication, DNA polymerase - enzyme that adds new nucleotides during replication, central dogma - flow of information from DNA to RNA to a protein, transcription - process that converts DNA coded message to mRNA, translation - ribosomes reads the codons and amino acids attach, RNA/ribonucleic acid - single stranded nucleic acid that contains ribose sugar and uracil base, mRNA - carries the genetic code out of the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm, rRNA - RNA that makes up the ribosomes, tRNA - carries amino acids and attaches them to the growing polypeptide chain., codon - 3 base pairs - codes for an amino acid, protein synthesis - making a protein through transcription and translation,
