pairs of nitrogen bases

I like to think of the DNA molecule strand as a ladder, rather than a spiral staircase. The siderail of the DNA ladder (The DNA "Backbone") consists of the Sugar and Phosphate molecules. The rungs of the ladder (the inner bases) consist of the pairs of Nitrogen Bases - Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine. 

hope this helped :)

6 steps of translation in order biology
densk [106]

Answer:

step 1: mRNA attaches to the ribosome

step 2: tRNA's attach to free amino acids in the cytoplasmic "pool" of amino acids

step 3: tRNA carries its specific amino acid to the ribosome

step 4: tRNA "delivers" its amino acid based on complementary pairing of a triplet code (anticodon) with the triplet code (codon) of the mRNA

step 5: Enzyme "hooks" the amino acid to the last one in the chain forming a peptide bond

step 6: Protein chain continues to grow as each tRNA brings in its amino acid and adds it to the chain
