Solute (ANS- A substance that is dissolved in a solution.
Adhesive (ANS- Having the ability to stick to other surfaces.

- / 2
Heat of Vaporization (ANS- The amount of energy required for the liquid at its boiling point to become a gas
Anticodon (ANS- Three-base sequence in a transfer RNA molecule base that pairs with a complementary codon in mRNA
Central Dogma of Molecular Biology (ANS- DNA -> RNA -> Protein
This paradigm was formulated by Grancis Crick: First, a portion of the DNA, a
gene, is transcribed to produce a complementary strand of RNA; then RNA is translated into protein
Codon (ANS- A specific sequence of three adjacent bases on a strand of DNA or RNA that provides genetic code information for a particular amino acid
