insertion
What is RNA?
RNA is a molecule that is present in all living cells and that plays a role in all protein production.
What is then function of DNA?

How do mutations happen?
It happens when random errors when DNA is copied
What is a nucleotide?
A nucleotide is a nucleic-acid chain, a sub unit that consists of a sugar, phosphate, and a nitrogenous base
What is the function of ribosomes?
It's the "factory'' that takes in RNA and makes protein.
What does RNA do?

What happens when an X-ray hits a part of the ray bounces off and it is captured on film.
X-ray diffraction work.
How does DNA make copies of itself?
During replication, a DNA molecule splits down the middle, where the bases meet. The new molecule is used as a pattern for a new strand, making a new copy of itself.
What is a mirrorlike copy of DNA segments called?
It is called mRNA
