What is the role of enzymes in biochemical reactions?

Back

Enzymes lower the activation energy of reactions, making it easier for the reactions to occur.

Front

How do the circulatory and immune systems collaborate during an injury?

Back

Increased blood flow carries white blood cells to the site of the injury, helping to fight infection.

Front

What is DNA replication?

Back

DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an exact copy of its DNA before cell division.

Front

What is the genetic code?

Back

The genetic code is a set of rules that defines how the sequence of nucleotides in DNA corresponds to the sequence of amino acids in proteins.

Front

What are the components of the genetic code?

Back

The components of the genetic code are nucleotides (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) that are common to all organisms.

Front

What is a mutation?

Back

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can lead to changes in the structure and function of proteins.

Front

What is an insertion mutation?

Back

An insertion mutation occurs when one or more nucleotide bases are added to a DNA sequence.

Front

What is a deletion mutation?

Back

A deletion mutation occurs when one or more nucleotide bases are removed from a DNA sequence.

Front

What is a substitution mutation?

Back

A substitution mutation occurs when one nucleotide base is replaced by another in a DNA sequence.

Front

What is translocation in genetics?

Back

Translocation is a mutation where a segment of DNA is moved from one location to another within the genome.
