6 of 9
messenger RNA (mRNA)
a type of RNA polynucleotide involved in protein synthesis; carries the information coding for a polypeptide from the nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
7 of 9
transfer RNA (tRNA)
type of RNA polynucleotide involved in protein synthesis; it transports amino acids to the ribosomes to be added to the growing polypeptide chain.
8 of 9
semi-conservative replication
the replication of a DNA strand where the two strands unzip and a new strand is assembled according to base pairing rules; the replicated double helix consists of one old strand and one new one.
