Put the steps of DNA replication in the correct order
a. The separated strands serves as a template for the attachment of complementary bases
b. Two identical copies of DNA are formed. Each with an old strand that served as a template for the strand.

What type of mutation is shown below?
Original DNA:
CCG TGC GTA TAG
Mutated DNA:
CGT GCG TAT AG
Frameshift mutation - deletion

What happens to the mRNA once transcription has been completed?
the mRNA travels out into the cytoplasm where it is read by the ribosome
400
Describe the process of translation
*Draw Something
In translation, mRNA is read by the ribosome while transfer RNA (tRNA) brings the correct amino acids to the ribosome to be assembled into a protein.

Why is it important for the nitrogen bases (A-T,G-C) in DNA to have weak hydrogen bonds?
So that they can easily be separated for replication and transcription
