- The first step in the process of gene expression where the genes in a strand of DNA are encoded into a complementary mRNA strand, which is then able to exit the nucleus for translation.
- the process of storage, transfer, and expression of molecular information through DNA in biological organisms, either through sexual or asexual reproduction, from parent to offspring.
- The second step involved in protein synthesis, where the genetic information from the mRNA sequence is converted into a linear sequence of amino acids in the 5’ to 3’ direction.
10 Clues: One of multiple variations of a gene, or defined genetic region, located at a specific locus on homologous chromosomes. • The process by which a gradual change over time (a result of DNA mutation), alters the genome of individuals in a population. • ...
