DNA is-
Chromosome bundles
Does each strand or DNA has all the info needed to construct the other half?
Yes
Replication steps
- Hydrogenbonds between nucleotides break
- DNA seporates
- New nucleotides are added onto the strands that have been seporated
- Hydrogen bonds between the nucleotides form
RNA and Protein Synthesis
Sugar is ___ instead of deoxyribose
Ribose
RNA is____stranded
Single-stranded
RNA and Protein Synthesis contains ___ instead of thymine
Uracil
Messenger RNA (m-RNA)
Carries code from DNA to ribosomes
Transfer RNA (t-RNA)
Matches m-RNA codon to add the correct amino acids during protein synthesis
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
combines amino acids together to form ribosomes
Transcription
RNA polymerase separates strands, then uses one strand as a template to resemble RNA

Nucleus
Where dose transcription occur?
(DNA–>RNA) In the nucleus
where does Translation occur
What happeneds?
