RNA Translation and Transcription. DNA replication starts with an enzyme called Helicase , The Helicase separates the Hydrogen bonds that are in between the two complementary bases. This acts like a zipper. DNA REPLICATION.

DNA replication starts with an enzyme called Helicase, The Helicase separates the Hydrogen bonds that are in between the two complementary bases. This acts like a zipper DNA REPLICATION
The DNA polymerase binds to a single strain of the old (parent) DNA, and uses it as a template to makes a new chain. • The result is a new strain that is half old half new.
Replication means exact copies of DNACopies are used for new cells for growth and repairThe sugar in DNA is deoxyribose.
Ribonucleic acid - Stores and transfers genetic information essential for making proteins. • Sugar phosphate backbone (sugar = ribose) • One stranded • Four bases • Adenine, Guanine, Uracil, Cytosine RNA
Transcription is the writing a message to send out of the nucleus
This is the process that RNA copies the genetic information from DNA and transfers it to the cytoplasm where it can be used to produce proteins. Transcription
Once RNA is out of the nucleus, it can be read in segments of three bases at a time. It will then code for an amino acid, which will combine to make a protein Translation
Change in DNA bases • Can be random or caused by the environment (ex: radiation) • Can make a significant change or very little change to organism • Sometimes is bad, sometimes can be good Mutations
