Answer:

Transcription

Explanation:

The DNA is stored in the nucleus of the cell. The DNA has the sequence information of every gene. This means that depending on the DNA sequence, we are going to have a particular protein. The transcription is a process within the cell in which an enzyme called polymerase enters the nucleus and transcribes the DNA into another molecule, RNA. Let's say that this process makes another "copy" of the nucleic acid sequence, but now the RNA is able to get out of the nucleus carrying genetic information into the cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm, the RNA is translated into protein. During the translation, a ribosome "reads" the RNA and builds the protein depending on the nucleic acid sequence. To sum up, we can say that the transcription is the first process involved in accessing the information from the DNA.

Well, first off we would have more unlimited power supply and we would be able to get it easier because, the sun can produce harmful RB rays, all we would need to do is process it through a machine that can make it into a  nuclear radiation rod that could be put into every electrical thing on this planet. We can also kill every one with the fire of a missile, and we could wipe the electrical currents of a nation out in one go.

Why would it be better to look at living cells than a dead ones?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Which three components are common to all amino acids
kirill115 [55]

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. There are 20 different amino acids and all share five basic parts namely-

1. a central carbon atom

2. a hydrogen atom

3. an amino group

4. a carboxyl group

5. an R - group or side chain.

The R - group or side chain is what makes each amino acid unique.

 There are two categories of amino acids:

1. essential amino acids - these are necessary for growth and maintenance of the body but cannot be produced by the body itself.

2.non essential  amino acids - these can be synthesized by the body itself.
