DNA Structure
Replication Produces an exact copy of DNA Occurs prior to every cell division Transcription Converts a portion of double-stranded DNA to a single-stranded mRNA Occurs within the nucleus Translation Converts an mRNA code into one or more proteins Takes place in the cytoplasm DNA mRNA Protein Replication, Transcription, and Translation
Keys: = Cytosine = Adenine = Guanine = Thymine Parent strandNew (daughter) strands forming Parent strand a) The double-stranded DNA unwinds, and each single strand serves as a template for a new complementary strand. DNA Replication
