The phase where DNA replicates.
What is S phase?
This is what RNA stands for.
What is Ribonucleic Acid?
When a single base is changed.
What is a point mutation?

What is transcription?
These are the bases that make up DNA and RNA
What are ATCGU?
These are the cells produced at the end of mitosis.
This is the chart used to determine the amino acid produced.
What is the GUAC chart?
This mutation is extremely dangerous, it deletes a base.

What is Transcription?
These are the effects of point mutations
What are silent, missense, and nonsense mutations?
This rule states that since A and T, and C and G bind together, then their percentages must be equal and add up to 100%.
What is Chargaff's rule?
The type of replication DNA undergoes.
What is semi-conservative?

This is the process of turning RNA to Proteins.
What is translation?
These are all the possible outcomes of a mutation.
