SB2a- DNA Replication & Protein Synthesis

At the beginning of DNA replication, what happens to the two strands of original DNA?

• They are separated by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen bases.

• They act as a template to build an mRNA strand.

• They are separated by breaking the nitrogen bonds between the hydrogen bases.

• They attract extra nitrogen bases to the nucleus to build a new strand of tRNA.

What process makes an mRNA molecule?

• duplication

• translation

• transcription

• crystallography
