How is DNA replicated, and how is stored genetic information used to produce an active protein in the cell?

Hints:

1. That’s a very broad question–so how much detail should you include? Make sure your answer is 1-2 pages long, and that it addresses each of the parts of the question. In other words, don’t spend 1 ¾ pages on replication, then cram in two sentences about the rest.

2. Use the appropriate jargon, and use it correctly. I assume your answer will include all these terms (and lots more): • Replication, Transcription, Translation

• Polymerase
• Semiconservative, Semidiscontinuous, Bidirectional
• Complementary
• Basepair
• Origin
• Promoter
• DNA
• Genetic Code
• RNA: mRNA, tRNA, rRNA
• Ribosome
• Codon, anticodon
• Prokaryote, Eukaryote
