Scientists can use a single codon chart to translate the information in a strand of mRNA from any species because:
Scientists only study a few related species.
The codon chart can adjust to any species.
Every species uses the same genetic code.
All species make the exact same proteins.
Cells can contain thousands of different genes; however, only a small percentage of these genes are being expressed at any given time. This indicates that –
Cells are unable to express all genes
Gene expression is regulated
The expression of genes is random
Unused genes are removed from the DNA
Like most cellular processes, transcription is directed by the action of –
enzymes
fatty acids
monosaccharides
inhibitors
How are DNA and RNA different? (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY)
Only DNA can leave the nucleus
RNA contains Thymine; DNA contains Uracil
DNA is double stranded, RNA is a single stranded
DNA contains Thymine, RNA contains Uracil
