Define the terms replication, transcription, and translation and their relationship to nucleic acids and protein synthesis. Explain how these processes together contribute to the creation of a protein with a unique three dimensional structure and function. (Also discuss primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure of proteins.)

Write out all the steps of transcription and translation for protein synthesis Describe where they take place in the cell. Be sure to discuss the 3 types of RNA and how they are used in these processes. Explain why DNA is said to have a triplet code. Discuss the code, codon, and anticodon.
