500
This is the name for the process of DNA making a copy of itself.
What is "DNA replication"?
500
This is where the mRNA goes after transcribing the DNA.
What is "the cytoplasm or the ribosome"?
500
This the relationship between DNA codes and computer codes.
What is "DNA is basically the code of life. It programs our proteins to do different jobs, just like computer codes can program a robot to do something or be part of a game. A mistake in DNA or computer codes can cause a "glitch" and the "program" doesn't run as well (or at all!)."
500
This is another name for mitosis.
What is "cell division"?
500
When two new nuclei start to form, the cell is likely in this stage/phase.
