New cards
8

Mitosis

________ Happens in all cells except egg cells and sperm cells- called somatic cells.

New cards
9

ribosome

In the ________ the t- RNA transports the corresponding base to the code of the m- RNA.

New cards
10

Mutations

________ are mistakes that happen during the protein synthesis, in which the DNA copy is made incorrectly which changes the order of the bases causing wrong amino acid to form.

New cards

Transcription The DNA strands

________ are separated by enzymes and alter copied.

New cards
14

Genes

________ contain information about how the human body is to develop and function.

New cards
15

Chromosome mutations

________ Involving the whole part of a chromosome.

17

specific amino acid

The bases are forged into triplets bonding together to create a(n) ________.

New cards
18

M RNA
