Translation
What is the role of p53 during DNA replication? Read carefully to find the differences between the option choices.
p53 is a cell cycle inhibitory protein that pauses progression of the cell cycle to correct DNA mutations.
What are the differences between DNA and RNA? Read carefully to find the differences between the option choices.
DNA = double-stranded, built of deoxyribose sugar, contains nitrogen base thymine. RNA = single-stranded, built of ribose sugar, contains nitrogen base uracil.
