Genetic code
Genetic code:
How many strands are split
2
Dna code in the cell nucleus is transferred to an RNA code
Dna code to Rna code
Transcription
Complimentary code triplets in the RNA
Codons
Uracil is used in
Transcription
Activation of rna nucleotide
Rna polymerase

Mrna
Transports activated aa to the ribosomes for assembling proteins
Transfer rna
Forms ribosomes for assembly of proteins
Rrna
Regulate GENE TRANSCRIPTION and TRANSLATION
Micro rna
Process of formation of proteins on the ribosomes
Translation
