Question

The duplication of DNA is called ________, the copying of DNA to mRNA is called ________, and the reading of the mRNA by the cell to make a protein is called ________.

Answer 1

Answer:

The duplication of DNA is called replication, the copying of DNA to mRNA is called transcription, and the reading of the mRNA by the cell to make a protein is called translation.

Explanation:

Replication is the gradual, repetitive, bidirectional, antiparallel and semi-conservative process; whereby the DNA is duplicated, guaranteeing the availability of a copy of the genome of the stem cell, for each of the daughter cells, in other words, it is the mechanism that allows the DNA to duplicate (that is, synthesize an identical copy of itself).

Transcription is the process by which the genes found in the chromosome DNA are selectively located, recognized and transcribed, producing mRNA, ribosomal (structural) and transfer RNA (adapters).

Messenger RNA is the one that carries the information for protein synthesis, that is, it determines the order in which the amino acids will bind. Translation is the process by which protein synthesis occurs, by decoding or reading the message of (mRNA).
