DNA must be replicated before a cell divides because:

• each new cell needs a complete set of genetic information

• it speeds up cell division

• it prevents mutations from occurring

• it helps the cell grow larger

Why is DNA replication considered "semi-conservative"?

• The 2 "new" molecules of DNA are each made of a strand of old and new DNA

• Both molecules of DNA are made of only new DNA

• Both molecules of DNA are made of only old DNA

• The old DNA molecule is removed from the cell, while the new DNA is retained in the cell

Match the following

• delivers amino acids to growing protein

• 
• carries information from DNA to ribosome

• 
• makes up ribosome

A mutation is a change/error that affects DNA. If DNA is mutated, then the complementary transcript of ​ (a)   is also going to be different. If the message is different, then this can cause the ribosome to add different ​ (b)   during translation. If different amino acids are being added, then this will lead to a different ​ (c)   . If this macromolecule is different, then it will have a different shape, which will mean it will have a different ​ (d)   .

How are we able to have specialized cells? (Muscle cells, skin cells, neurons)

• They all have the same DNA, they just express different genes

• They all have their own unique set of DNA, and express those genes

Organize these options into the right categories

Groups:

(a) Law of Dominance

(b) Law of Segregation

,

(c) Law of Independent Assortment

• Dominant allele always shows

• 
• Alleles from parent separate during meiosis

• Alleles for one trait don't influence alleles for different trait
