21
Q

Which is the process that scientists use to produce a large number of recombinant DNA molecules?

A

Gene cloning

22
Q

A mutation happened at a single place within a DNA sequence. There was no change within the amino
acid sequence. What type of mutation is this?

A

Silent

23
Q

A major diference between RNA and DNA is that

A

RNA is single stranded instead of double stranded.

24
Q

Why is DNA replication classified as semi-conservative and antiparallel?

A

The end result is two complete DNA strands. One half of each completed strand is the parent strand while the other half is the new-strand. Each has one half that runs 5’ to 3’ and 3’ to
