To use the amino acid chart:
Find the first letter of the tRNA anticodon on the left column.
Find the second letter of the tRNA anticodon on the upper column.
Draw line from both columns until the lines meet.
Now find the third letter from the tRNA anticodon in the right column and draw a line
until it intersects with the other 2 lines.
Fill in the blank with the terms (1 point each)

DNA molecules contain information for building specific (1). In a
three-dimensional view a DNA molecule looks like a spiral staircase;
this is correctly called a (2). The constant parts of DNA molecules are
the (3) and (4) molecules, forming the DNA-ladder uprights, or
backbones. The information of DNA is actually coded in the sequence
of nitrogen containing (5), which are bound together to form the “rungs”
of the DNA ladder. When the four DNA bases are combined in
different three-base sequences called (6), different (7) of the protein are
called for. It is said that the N-containing bases of DNA are (8), which
means that only certain bases can fit together or interact together.
Specifically this means that (9) can only bind with guanine, and adenine
can only bind with (10).
