Question 2: Explain the process of DNA replication.
DNA replication is the process of creating a single strand of DNA from a double strand
The process of DNA replication involves unwinding of the DNA double helix, separation of the DNA strands, and synthesis of new complementary strands using the existing strands as templates.
DNA replication occurs by the joining of two separate DNA molecules
The process of DNA replication involves the formation of RNA from DNA

Question 4: What is the role of mRNA in the translation process?
Carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome
Serves as a structural component of the ribosome
Plays no role in the translation process
Carries genetic information from ribosome to DNA

Question 5: How does the translation process result in the formation of a protein?
mRNA is converted directly into a protein without the need for ribosomes or tRNA
mRNA is read by ribosomes, and tRNA brings the corresponding amino acids on the anti codon to form a polypeptide chain, which then folds into a protein
Ribosomes read the DNA directly to form a protein, bypassing the need for mRNA and tRNA
tRNA reads the mRNA and forms a polypeptide chain without the involvement of ribosomes

How does the process of DNA replication impact mutations in an individual?
All DNA replication stops when there is a mutation, so the mutation won't hurt the
individual.
Replication only produces new DNA strands, so the old stand with the mutation is
destroyed.
Since replication keeps the old strands as templates, mutations may be carried into future
strands.
Mutations are often lost since the cell will die during the replication process if the DNA is
mutated.
