What is the process of DNA replication?
The process of DNA replication involves the formation of RNA instead of DNA
The process of DNA replication involves breaking the DNA double helix into 4 separate strands
The process of DNA replication involves unwinding the DNA double helix, synthesis of new complementary strands, and proofreading and correction of errors.
The process of DNA replication involves creating a single new strand of DNA
What is the role of DNA polymerase in DNA replication?
It regulates the expression of genes
It breaks down the existing DNA strands
It synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides to the existing template strands.
It is also the "proof-reader"
It transports DNA to different parts of the cell
_____________ is the process of DNA duplicating itself.
Replication
Transcription
Translation
Protein Synthesis
What is the function of mRNA in transcription?
mRNA is responsible for cell division
mRNA helps in the production of ATP
mRNA stores genetic information in the nucleus
mRNA is the strand that carries the code from the nucleus to the ribosomes for protein synthesis
__________ is the process of amino acids being bonded to form protein.
Replication
Translation
Transcription
Mitosis
What is the role of tRNA in translation?
tRNA regulates gene expression
tRNA carries specific amino acids to the ribosome during translation.
tRNA is responsible for protein synthesis
tRNA helps in DNA replication
