Term
|
Definition
| process of transcribing or making a copy of genetic information stored in a DNA strand into a complementary strand of mRNA with the aid of RNA polymerases |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| set of three adjacent nucleotides, in mRNAthat base-pair with the corresponding aniticodon of tRNA molecule that carries a particular amino acid, specifying the type and sequence of amino acids for protein synthesis. |

Term
|
Definition
| permanent, heritable change in nucleotide sequence in a gene or chromosome; the process in which such a change occurs in a gene or in a chromosome. mutation can also be a change in which a species is evolving. |
