Q

transcription

A

process by which RNA copy of DNA gene is produced

17
Q

translation

A

process by which a messenger RNA binds to a ribosome and specific amino acids attach to transfer RNA, anticodons of transfer RNA binds to codon of messenger RNA to make the corresponding protein

18
Q

cell differentiation

A

process by which cells develop into different types of cells with specialized functions

19
Q

apoptosis

A

normal cell death

20
Q

List some characteristics of aging
