many themes we have talked
about this semester.)

TRANSLATION
A succession of tRNAs
add their amino acids to
the polypeptide chain
Anticodon
as the mRNA is moved
through the ribosome
one codon at a time.
(When completed, the
polypeptide is released
from the ribosome.)

• Mitosis produces an exact copy of the
parent cell.
– Used for growth and asexual reproduction.
• Meiosis produces reduced (haploid)
gametes, which are genetically unique.
– Necessary for sexual reproduction.
Meiosis generates variation through:
- independent assortment of chromosomes
- crossing over
Mitosis vs Meiosis
Not paired
Homologs pair in
meiosis 1

haploid
Sister chromatids

DNA replication machine
PCR is just
repeated cycles
of DNA synthesis
in a test tube
DNA is always
synthesized 5’ to 3’
DNA sequences are
determined by
