Question 8

Gene

Answer 8

A sequence of DNA that determines a trait of an offspring. It is passed on from a parent to an offspring. Contains information to code for a specific protein.

Question 9

DNA replication

Answer 9

The process of which a DNA strand copies itself before it divides

Question 10

DNA

Answer 10
