definition
a set of 3 bases on mrna
3 bases on trna that match mrna
where translation happens
builds rna strand during transcription
building block of proteins
link between amino acids
building block of dna/rna
shape of dna

Explanation:

In molecular biology, a codon is a set of 3 bases on mRNA. An anticodon is 3 bases on tRNA that match mRNA. Ribosomes are the sites where translation occurs. RNA polymerase builds an RNA strand during transcription. Amino - acids are the building blocks of proteins. A peptide bond is the link between amino acids. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA/RNA. The double - helix is the shape of DNA.
