G(Guanine)

Question 21

G(Guanine)

Answer 21

C(Cytosine)

Question 22

Condon

Answer 22

Important with the messenger RNA

Question 23

Transcription

Answer 23

The gene of interest is unwound and RNA polymerase moves along the DNA and nucleotides complementary to the DNA are joined together to make the pre MRNA

Question 24

Translation

Answer 24

The MRNA leaves the nucleus and goes to the ribosomes to make a protein then goes to the ER to be folded and polished off before being sent to the GA along vessels and is then transported out of the cell membrane to where it is required to go

Question 25

Mitosis

Answer 25

A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth

Question 26

Meiosis

Answer 26

Meiosis is the process whereby chromosomes are copied, paired up and separated to create eggs or sperm
