How is DNA replicated, and how is stored genetic information used to produce an active protein in the cell?
Hints:
1. That's a very broad question--so how much detail should you include? Make sure your answer is 1-2 pages long, and that it addresses each of the parts of the question. In other words, don't spend 1 ¾ pages on replication, then cram in two sentences about the rest.
2. Use the appropriate jargon, and use it correctly. I assume your answer will include all these terms (and lots more): • Replication, Transcription, Translation
- Polymerase
- Semiconservative, Semidiscontinuous, Bidirectional
- Complementary
- Basepair
- Origin
- Promoter
- DNA
- Genetic Code
- RNA: mRNA, tRNA, rRNA
- Ribosome
- Codon, anticodon
- Prokaryote, Eukaryote
