Why do cells need both tRNA and mRNA?
Only tRNA bends into a shape that can carry specific amino acids.
Only mRNA can be used to repair mistakes in the DNA sequence.
The tRNA in used on the ribosomes and the mRNA is used in the nucleus.
The mRNA brings information to the nucleus for the tRNA to use.
A cell is replicating its DNA. Part of the DNA strand reads A-C-C-G-T-A-C. The new strand built off this section reads T-G-G-A-A-T-G. What effect might this have when the DNA replicates in the future?
Cells having the new DNA version will look or operate differently from cells with the original DNA.
Only the sections of DNA without mistakes will be used in the future so the DNA strand will shorten.
The DNA will be exactly like the original since only the original strand of DNA is used as a template.
When the new strand is used as a template the strand built from it will differ from the original DNA.
