state the role of DNA in the cell nucleus
Answers
I hope this helps
Answer: DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material of the organism. It contains the essential information about the organism in the form of nucleotide sequences. This information is passed on from one generation to the next generation. The essential role played by DNA in the nucleus is as follows-
Replication- The process by which DNA gets doubled in the cell. This is crucial for cell division. Both the strands of DNA acts like template (one for the leading and second for the lagging strand).
Transcription- DNA is converted to mRNA by this process ( messanger RNA). One of the strand of DNA acts like a template strand in this process. By this process, the genetic information is transferred to mRNA.
mRNA finally passes the genetic information to the cytoplasm where protein synthesis takes place ( translation)
