What is copying the code and does it relate to DNA?

Copying the code refers to replicating and duplicating the information in a programming language. In the context of DNA, copying the code refers to the process of DNA replication, where the information encoded in the DNA molecule is duplicated during cell division to pass on genetic information to the next generation. Both processes involve reproducing information accurately and efficiently.


Distinguish between morphology and growth arrangement?

Morphology refers to the study of the form and structure of organisms, including their physical characteristics such as shape, size, and color. Growth arrangement, on the other hand, refers to how individual organisms are organized or clustered together, such as in a linear, circular, or branching pattern. Essentially, morphology focuses on the characteristics of individual organisms, while growth arrangement relates to their spatial relationships with each other.

Define DNA polarity?

In DNA polarity refers to the direction that the molecule is synthesised in. Directionality is important as the genetic code must be read. One end of the molecule is a phosphate - labelled 5' (5 prime) At the other is a hydroxyl group - labelled 3'. It is the polar hydroxyl group that relates to the name 'polarity'. Nucleotides are added to the hydroxyl group, therefore we say it is synthesised in the 5'-3' direction. As DNA is double-stranded and anti-parallel the opposite strand is in the 3'-5' direction - this strand therefore lags behind in replication. I hope this helps you a little!
