Front

What is the role of DNA Polymerase?

Back

Synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides.

Front

What is the difference between transcription and translation?

Back

Transcription is the process of copying DNA to RNA; translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from RNA.

What are the base pairing rules in DNA?

Back

Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Cytosine pairs with Guanine.
