what does mRNA do?
sends a message to the tRNA
what does the tRNA do?
transfers the amino acids to the ribosome
what does rRNA do?
what makes up the ribosome
what do you call a chain of amino acids?
a polypeptide
once folded, a polypeptide becomes a

What do proteins determine?
your genes
tRNA has an ____codon
anticodon
Substitution
a base pair is replaced for another
Deletion
a base pair is removed
Insertion/ addition
a base pair is added
what is frameshift mutation
When something is added/ deleted and now codes for a new acid
building blocks=
amino acids
Transcription
DNA to mRNA
Translation
mRNA to tRNA
