What is translation? Process by which mRNA is decoded and a protein is produced polymerase chain reaction (PCR) A method of producing thousands of copies of DNA segment using the enzyme DNA polymerase DNA primers in PCR are needed to? a initiate synthesis of the new DNA molecule dNTPs are the building blocks of DNA DNA polymerase III adds bases to the new DNA chain; proofreading the chain for mistakes Excision Repair locates and repairs incorrect sequence by removing a segment of the DNA and then adding the correct nucleotides Base Excision Repair (BER) is what DNA repair that first excises modified bases and then replaces the entire nucleotide mismatch repair does what repair enzymes correct errors in base pairing homologous recombination repairs what kind of breaks double strand breaks Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) is what kind of repair used to repair deletions, insertions and helix-distorting lesions, thymine dimers complete dominance a relationship in which one allele is completely dominant over another incomplete domina
