• Transcription
• Translation
• Protein synthesis

Which of these describes a protein?

Translation

• produces RNA from DNA
• produces DNA from RNA
• Produces Amino Acids from RNA
• Produces RNA from Amino Acids 

The process in which the DNA makes a copy of itself is

During TRANSLATION

• DNA makes RNA

• DNA makes DNA

• RNA makes PROTEINS

• RNA makes RNA

DNA Replication occurs before
