Explanation:

1. A codon is a set of 3 bases on mRNA which codes for an amino - acid during translation.
2. An anticodon is 3 bases on tRNA that are complementary to the codon on mRNA.
3. Ribosomes are the sites where translation of mRNA into proteins occurs.
4. RNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes an RNA strand from a DNA template during transcription.
5. Amino acids are the building blocks that are linked together to form proteins.
6. A peptide bond is the covalent bond that links amino acids together in a protein chain.

Answer:

1. A set of 3 bases on mRNA
2. 3 bases on tRNA that match mRNA
3. Where translation happens
4. Builds RNA strand during transcription
5. Building block of proteins
6. Link between amino acids
