  • DNA

    Stores genetic information and provides instructions used by cells.

  • RNA

    Carries or helps use genetic information in processes such as protein production.

  • Nucleotide

    A building block of DNA and RNA.

  • Gene

    A segment of genetic information that contributes to a functional product.

  • Coding gene

    A gene region whose information is used to produce a functional product, such as a protein.

  • Noncoding gene

    A gene that produces a functional RNA rather than a protein.

  • Functional product

    The useful product made from genetic information, such as a protein or functional RNA.

  • mRNA

    Messenger RNA; carries protein-building instructions from DNA to a ribosome.

  • rRNA

    Ribosomal RNA; forms part of ribosomes and helps with protein production.

  • tRNA

    Transfer RNA; brings specific amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

  • Transcription

    The process of using DNA information to make RNA.

  • Translation

    The process of using RNA information to assemble a protein.

  • Codon

    A three-base sequence in mRNA that specifies an amino acid or a stop signal.

  • Amino acid

    A building block used to make proteins.

  • Protein

    A functional molecule made from an amino-acid chain.
