Draggable item		Corresponding Item
		Once upon a time, in a eukaryotic cell far away,
		lived a lovely DNA molecule with nucleotides of gold(1),
		a DNA molecule with two antiparallel strands longer(2) than longcat:
		trapped(3) in a nucleus, its days were quiet,

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
		mRNA can be identified by both its single-stranded nature and because it contains uracil
		the ribosome facilitates binding of tRNA to mRNA

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
this contains guanine, cytosine, thymine, and adenine
these are generally proteins, which means they are built from AMINO acids
these sad jealous molecules are RNA, riboNUCLEIC acid, messengers; we'll learn more about them later, but not today!
this suffix means that this molecule is probably an enzyme or other protein

		Once upon a time, in a eukaryotic cell far away,
		lived a lovely DNA molecule with nucleotides of gold(1),
		a DNA molecule with two antiparallel strands longer(2) than longcat:
		trapped(3) in a nucleus, its days were quiet,
		and the DNA spent those days replicating its nucleotides(4) with the help of its enzyme friends.
		mRNA(5) was its one-and-only link to the outside.

Match the characters in the comic to their context.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
		mRNA can be identified by both its single-stranded nature and because it contains uracil
		the ribosome facilitates binding of tRNA to mRNA
		chargaff's rule determines which tRNA binds where; hydrogen bonds are temporary and easily broken
		each amino acid in the growing polypeptide chain is covalently bonded to the next in primary structure
		eventually, a stop codon signals termination of the translation process, the polypeptide chain is detached, and the ribosome dissociates
