Title: Explain specific DNA sequences.
Course: Biomedical Technician (14900) > Section: Explaining Molecular Biology Techniques

Explanation should include

- “start” and “stop” codons
- process of ribonucleic acid (RNA) transcription and translation
- DNA replication
- DNA repair
- mutations
- coding and non-coding sequences
- sense and anti-sense strands.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What happens if there is an error in the transcription of a DNA sequence?
- When working with DNA sequences are there any other sources of error besides transcription errors?
- What human diseases can occur from transcription errors? What built-in mechanisms are there to repair errors and thus prevent disease?
