the strand of DNA that runs 5’ to 3’ and contains the genetic code for a protein.

Card 27
Front
the antisense strand of DNA that acts as template during transcription so that the complementary RNA strand formed carries the same code for a protein as the DNA sense strand.

Card 28
Front
the process of copying sections of DNA base sequence to produce smaller molecules of mRNA, which can be transported out of the nucleus via the nuclear pores to the site of protein synthesis.

Card 29
Front
form of RNA that carries an amino acid specific to its anticodon to the correct position along mRNA during translation.

Card 30
Front
the process by which the complementary code carried by mRNA is decoded by tRNA into a sequence of amino acids. This occurs at a ribosome.
Back
Card 31
Front
the genetic code is a sequence of three nucleic acid bases, called a codon. Each codon codes for one amino acid.
