2. translation: what is it/what is happening? where does it take place?
3. what is the central dogma?
4. what is chargaff’s rule?
5. what is the base pair rule?
6. what are the four enzymes involved in dna replication and what do they do?
7. what is mrna and what is its job?
8. what is trna and what is its job?

Explanation:

Answer:

Transcription: synthesis of RNA from DNA template, occurs in nucleus (eukaryotes) or cytoplasm (prokaryotes).
Translation: synthesis of protein from mRNA, occurs at ribosomes.
Central Dogma: DNA → RNA → Protein.
Chargaff’s rule: A = T, G = C in DNA.
Base pair rule: A - T (U in RNA), G - C.
DNA replication enzymes: Helicase (unwinds DNA), Primase (synthesizes RNA primer), DNA polymerase (adds nucleotides), Ligase (joins Okazaki fragments).
mRNA: messenger RNA, carries genetic info from DNA to ribosome.
