DNA replication

A copying error, which is one cause of a mutation. However it is important to realize that there many other causes of mutations. Some are:

  • ionizing radiation damage
  • active radicle damage
  • some toxins
  • errors in attempting to repair other errors that have been detected
  • retroviruses can insert themselves into genes causing dramatic changes
  • some mutations have no direct cause and are called spontaneous, they are just ordinary chemical degradations of the bases that make up DNA over time
  • etc.

Where in the cell is DNA copied?

DNA is copied in the cell nucleus. This process is called DNA replication and occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle.


What occurs in meiosis i that does not occur in meiosis ii?

DNA is copied.


DNA is copied during a process called?

DNA is copied during a process called DNA replication. This process occurs in the nucleus of a cell and involves making an exact copy of the original DNA molecule. DNA replication is essential for cell division and passing genetic information from one generation to the next.


What is the process in which all of the nuclear DNA in copied?

The process in which all of the nuclear DNA is copied is called DNA replication. It occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle. Enzymes unwind the double helix structure of DNA and synthesize two new strands complementary to the original template strands.


When DNA is copied the process is called what?

mRNA does not copy DNA, intead, mRNA is copied FROM DNR. The process is call translation.


In preparation for mitosis DNA is copied this is called DNA?

DNA is not copied during mitosis. It is copied in the portion of the cell cycle prior to mitosis during the S phase of interphase and is called DNA Replication.


What is the process by which a molecule of DNA is copied into a strand of RNA occurs where?

The process by which a molecule of DNA is copied into a strand of RNA is called transcription. It occurs in the nucleus of a cell and involves the enzyme RNA polymerase, which reads one strand of the DNA molecule and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand. This new RNA molecule then serves as a template for protein synthesis.


What happens in meiosis 1 that does not occurs in meiosis 2?

DNA is copied (for novanet cheaters)


DNA is copied during the process called?

replication


What diagram models replication in which DNA is copied before mitosis occurs?

The diagram that models replication in which DNA is copied before mitosis occurs is called the semi-conservative replication model. In this model, each strand of the original DNA molecule serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. This results in two identical DNA molecules, each one containing one original strand and one newly synthesized strand.


What part of the DNA is copied in protein synthesis?

In protein synthesis, the DNA is copied into mRNA (messenger RNA) during the process of transcription. The mRNA then carries the genetic instructions from the DNA to the ribosomes, where protein synthesis occurs.


What process makes a copy of a DNA molecule?

Transcription.
