Questions and Answers

What are the three main processes involved in the flow of genetic information?

DNA replication, transcription, translation

What are palindromes and mirror repeats in the context of genetic sequences?

Palindromes read the same forward and backward on the same strand, while mirror repeats have a symmetric sequence within each strand.

What is DNA melting, and what is another name for this process?

DNA melting refers to the process of separating the two strands of DNA by breaking the hydrogen bonds between complementary bases. Another name for this process is thermal denaturation.

Besides their role in DNA and RNA, what are two other functions of nucleotides?

<p>Nucleotides serve as energy carriers in cellular processes (e.g., ATP) and function as coenzymes in metabolic reactions (e.g., NAD+ and FAD).</p> Signup and view all the answers
