17. The enzyme that uses one strand of DNA as a template to assemble nucleotides into a strand of RNA is called RNA polymerase.
18. The decoding of an mRNA message into protein is known as translation.
19. The three bases on the mRNA molecule that are complementary to one of the mRNA codons are called an anticodon.
20. Proteins are made up of amino acids.
21. A change in a single base pair in DNA is called a mutation.
22. The kind of nondisjunction caused by having an extra chromosome is called trisomy.
23. The kind of nondisjunction caused by a missing chromosome is called monosomy. Most living things with this condition do not survive.

Define transcription: Transcription is the process by which the information in a strand of DNA is copied into a complementary strand of RNA.
List the four nitrogenous bases in RNA: Adenine, Uracil, Guanine, Cytosine.
List the four nitrogenous bases in DNA: Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine.
Place the steps of DNA replication in the correct order of what happens first (1-5). Steps:
1. Helicase begins to break the hydrogen bonds between nitrogen bases.
2. DNA polymerase attaches the free-floating nucleotides to the exposed nitrogen bases.
3. Free-floating nucleotides pair up with exposed nitrogen bases.
4. Two new molecules of DNA are created.
5. The cell starts into the mitosis phase of the cell cycle.
