rRNA
___ transfers amino acids to ribosome by coded messages
tRNA
____ process where RNa molecules produced by coping part of the nuclotide sequence of DNA into complementary sequence in RNA
transcription
_____ an enzyme' binds to DNA and separates the DNA strands, then uses one strand of DNA as a template from which nucleotides are assembled into a strand of RNA
RNA polymerase
