What is the function of DNA?
What is to store all of the genetic info that an organism needs to function, develop, and reproduce.
Name three characteristics of RNA that makes it different from DNA
What is, it's ribose sugar, it has Uracil as a base, and it is single stranded.
What happens during transcription and what is involved and where?
What is DNA is copied using RNA, DNA and mRNA is involved and its in the nucleus.
Name three factors that affect enzymes
What is concentration of enzymes, temperature, and pH
Why is it that different cells have different characteristics despite having the same genome?
What is Particular genes are expressed while others are repressed
What are the two types of DNA strands and which one takes part of the transcription process?
What is a coding strand and template strand. The template strand takes part of the transcription process.
What are the three types of RNA and what do they do?
What is mRNA it carries DNA from nucleus to ribosome, tRNA it carries amino acids to the ribosome, rRNA it assembles the protein.
What happens during translation and what is involved in it and where?
What is a protein is made by adding amino acids to grow a peptide chain, mRNA, rRNA and tRNA is involved and it occurs at ribosome.
