1
Q
purpose
A
to make life keep going. The original DNA strands are used as templates for the synthesis of new DNA strands
2
Q
definition

half of the daughter from the original
3
Q
products
A
two new DNA strands (identical)
4
Q
product processing
A
have to have complementary base pairs to create new DNA
5
Q
base pairings
A
A-T G-C
64 possible codons
6
Q
condons
A
every 3 bases is a codon. just a copy. copied exactly with complementary bases. stop start codons. amino acids can have more than one codon. 20 standard amino acid + 1
