identification of the origins of replication
unwinding (denaturation) of dsdna to provide ssdna template
elongation
formation of the replication fork
dna dependent synthesis of rna
transcription
steps of transcription
initiation , elongation, termination
carriers copies of instruction for assembling protein from DNA to ribosomes
mrna
contains codon - 3 bases
mRna
transfers each amino acid to the ribosom
transfer RNA
anticodon
transfer RNA

3 wyas of genetic transfer
transformation
conjugation
transduction
genes transferred from one bacterium to another as “naked” DNA
transformation
plasmid transferred
conjugation
a small circular, double stranded DNA molecule that is distant from a cells chromosomal SNA and naturally exist in bacterial cells
plasmid
involves bacteriophage- combine of donor and recipient
transduction
bacteria eater
bacteriophage
