The four organisms illustrated are all capable of various forms of asexual reproduction. What processes, involving DNA and RNA,
are necessary for all four of these organisms to successfully make replicas of themselves? a. meiosis, replication, crossing over
b. recombination, replication, cloning
c. replication, transcription, translation
d. translation, transcription, transferral
Cells ensure genetic continuity, simple organisms such as the amoeba seen here, and higher organisms that regenerate new tissue all undergo replication, transcription, translation. DNA must be replicated and proteins made. Replication produces additional DNA. The DNA code is transcribed to mRNA and the process of protein synthesis ends with translation between mRNA and tRNA. Meiosis is involved in gamete production and sexual reproduction.
