Q

what is relocation and why do cells undergo this process?

A

Is the process of making an exact copy of DNA. This happens so that they can repair damages strands.

Q

Process of replication

A

Chemical bonds connecting bases break apart. the DNA separates. matching a. ew nucleotide match with proper bases. the process continues until the strand has been copied

16
Q

list and describe types and functions of RNA.

A

messenger- MRNA carries sequence of bases to the ribosomes

transfer- TRNA picks up amino acids and carries them to the ribosomes

17
Q

what is transcription

A

process of making MRNA from a DNA molecule

18
Q

why do we need transcription

A

information is contained in dna can not be transferred into other cells.

19
Q

steps of translation

A

ribosomes pink wig the mrna at the starting codon

slides down to the mrna to the next codon

reads the codon and finds the trna with the matching anti- codon

rrna bonds the mrna and trna and ribosomes together

ribosomes slide down to the next codon reads it and finds the trna with matching anti codon.

connects amino acids together into a long chain.

process repeats until it reaches the stop codon

20
Q

what’s a codon and what do they do?

A

codons are a code with three letters in the they are separated into sections that make codes

21
Q

what is the start codon and a stop codon.

A

start: AUG
stop: UAA UAG UGA

22
Q

what is transcription

A

translation is mrna sequence i the amino ace sequence of a protein.

23
Q

what is mutation?

A

the change in the genetic code/order of the bases are changed.

24
Q

different mutations

A

substitutions
