Answer 2

Translation

Question 3

Messenger RNA is made from DNA through the process of _______________

Answer 3

Transcription

Question 4

The tendency for randomly moving ions to move down a concentration gradient drives the process of _______________.

Answer 4

Diffusion

Question 5

What is the movement of molecules and/or ions from areas of high concetration to areas of low concentration called?

Answer 5

Diffusion

What is Diffusion?

Question 6

What is transcription?

Answer 6

Transcription is the process by which a specific segment of DNA—usually a gene—is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA). This mRNA will later be used during translation to build a protein.
The transcribed RNA sequence is read in sets of three nucleotides, called codons, with each codon corresponding to a specific amino acid.
