(Molecular Biology Review with Answers)
Double Helix - the structure of a DNA molecule
Watson and Crick - Who discovered the DNA helix?
Franklin and Wilkins - Who studied and took Xray photos to help discover how DNA is
shaped?
Before - Does DNA replication happen before or after cell division (mitosis)?

polymerase molecules?
mRNA - Where are your codons located?
tRNA - Where are the anticodons that bind mRNA codons located?
amino acids (AA) - What's on the other side of that tRNA molecule;what is the tRNA
carrying?
