    This document contains questions about DNA, RNA, DNA replication, transcription, translation, and the genetic code. It asks the reader to name components of DNA and RNA, differentiate transcription and replication, identify the model of DNA replication, describe DNA polymerase's role, explain Chargaff's rule, and discuss features and the number of amino acids in the genetic code table.
