The central dogma of biology using DNA, RNA and proteins
. What is the central dogma of biology using DNA, RNA and proteins?
2. Compare and contrast a plasmid in a prokaryotic cell with the chromosomes of a prokaryotic cell. Use at least three significant features, for example what kind of information is stored in each type of DNA molecule.
3. Succinctly explain the difference between the leading and lagging strand on the DNA replication diagram. How does the direction in which DNA pol connect nucleotides lead to the differences?
4. Name and explain three functions of methylation which occurs after DNA replication.
5. How does the initiation and termination of transcription differ between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
6. How soon after the mRNA is synthesized is it ready for translation in the ribosomes? Is there a difference in this process between eukaryotes and prokaryotes, if so describe that difference.
