DNA Replication And Protein Synthesis! Quiz
(150).jpg "DNA Replication And Protein Synthesis! Quiz")
What do you know about DNA replication? DNA replication is the biological course of action of creating two identical replicas of DNA from one original DNA model. DNA replication occurs in all living organisms that are an essential part of biological inheritance. Protein synthesis balances the loss of cellular proteins through the production of new proteins. This quiz will teach you more about DNA replication and protein synthesis. Give it a shot.
