Lab: An Introduction to Genetic Processes
Part A: DNA Replication and Protein Synthesis and Sources of Variability Exercise
1. Illustrate your understanding of complimentary bases and DNA Replication by providing the triplet of bases that are complimentary to the original DNA triplet, and that would attach to the exposed DNA triplet during the first state of DNA replication.
Sample DNA Triplet DNA triplet replicated
