PDF will include puzzle sheet and the answer key.

ribose: RNA contains this sugar.
uracil: RNA has this nitrogenous base, rather than thymine, which is in DNA.
AUG: This initiator codon in mRNA signals protein synthesis to begin.
terminator: These codons in mRNA signals protein synthesis to stop.
tRNA: This nucleic acid has a clover-leaf shape and carries a specific amino acid to a ribosome, which becomes a part of the forming peptide.
anticodon: This triplet base code is found on the opposite end of a tRNA molecule from the amino acid.
rRNA: This nucleic acid is a major component of ribosomes and is made in the nucleolus.
transcription: In this process, the genetic code is transferred from DNA genes to messenger RNA.
translation: In this process, the mRNA copy of the DNA blueprint is used as a guide to make a protein.
dehydration: Peptide bonds are made between amino acids through this type of synthesis reaction on a ribosome.
digested protein: This is the source of free-floating amino acids in a cell.
cytoplasm: After a transfer RNA molecule has released its amino acid at a ribosome, it goes here to find another of the same amino acid.
CUU CUA UAG: This is the mRNA code for this sequence of DNA: GAA GAT ATC.
