DNA

DNA semi-conservative replication (one parent strand and a new strand)  and making new copies

?
DNA replication
DNA replicates so that two identical daughter chromatids can be formed with exactly the same genetic information. This takes place during Interphaseof the cell cycle.
1 of 6
semi-conservative replication
one replicated strand is the parent strand and the other is a new strand
2 of 6
Anti-parallel
strands in DNA run in opposite directions to each other, the sugars point in opposite directions
3 of 6
complementary base pairing
These bases are always join via hydrogen bonds A-T G-C A-U
4 of 6
Transcription
copying of DNA into molecules of mRNA
5 of 6
Translation
tRNA molecules deliver specific amino acids to the ribosomes, in order to make the primary structure
