Protein Synthesis - Answer: Process of creating proteins from DNA instructions.


DNA - Answer: Large molecule containing genetic information in cells.


Nucleus - Answer: Organelle housing DNA in eukaryotic cells.


Cytoplasm - Answer: Fluid where organelles and protein synthesis occur.


RNA - Answer: Ribonucleic acid, crucial for protein synthesis.


RNA Nucleotide - Answer: Contains ribose, phosphate, and nitrogen base.


Nitrogen Bases - Answer: Adenine, Uracil, Cytosine, Guanine in RNA.


Transcription - Answer: Process of copying DNA to mRNA.
