What are functions of mitosis that kids can know?
Mitosis is the duplication of cells DNA. Its functions are for growth of the body from baby to adulthood and repair injuries of the body.
What are the three types of genetic screening?
There are several types of genetic screening, not just 3: Prenatal screening: Where the DNA of the fetus is analyzed. New born Screening: DNA of a child is analyzed after birth. Carrier Screening: Where family members' DNA is analyzed Diagnostic: Analyzing a person's DNA anytime in their life, especially for a genetic disease. Forensic: Analyzing DNA for a legal issue and analyzing the DNA of dead individuals to identify them. I hope this helped, I know there are a couple more but these are the main ones.
What do you call a 3 letter word on a mRNA molecule?
The three-base sequence on a tRNA molecule is known as an anti-codon. This matches up with the codon (another 3-base code) on the mRNA to ensure that the correct amino acid is added to the chain (protein) being created.
How are traits passed from parents to their offspring?
Traits are passed by DNA.

How does DNA talk to you?

its like a genetic code
What is DNA ligase functions?
Ligase joins together the Okazaki fragments into a continuous strand of DNA.
What Stores DNA and controls Functions of a cell?
nucleus
What is the primase and its function?
Primase in the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase enzyme that functions in DNA replication by synthesizing the RNA primers which are then extended by DNA polymerase to yield newly synthesized DNA fragments. While being an RNA polymerase, primase is different from the RNA polymerase that functions in the transcription of DNA.
What three things happen when cells grow?
1. It grows/matures 2. Carries out it's regular functions 3. Produces DNA
What functions would a cell be unable to carry out without a nucleus?
They cant contain DNA for any functions
What is the main functions of nucleic acids are to?
To create DNA sequence
