Title: Explain specific nucleic acid sequences.
Course: Biomedical Technician (14900) > Section: Performing Molecular Biology Techniques

Explanation of specific nucleic acid sequences should include “start” and “stop” codons, as well as the process of RNA transcription and translation.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What happens if there is an error in the transcription of a nucleic acid sequence?
- Besides transcription errors, are there any other sources of error when working with nucleic acid sequences?
- What are some examples of human diseases that occur from such errors? Are there any built-in mechanisms to repair errors and thus prevent disease?
