By making an exact copy of the DNA molecule for the next generation

by making an RNA copy of the DNA molecule

by combining fragments of DNA into a new DNA molecule

all molecules with interspersed parental and new fragments

all molecules with two new strands

all molecules with one parental and one new strand

the genetic code is in triplets (groups of three)

almost ALL living organisms use the same codons to make proteins

some microorganisms use codons

some organisms have different start and stop signals

mRNA

DNA

amino acids

ribosomes

DNA replication results in a single stranded RNA molecule, while Transcription results in two copies of a double helix DNA
