Explanation / Answer

9. Central Dogma: DNA ------ transcription -----> mRNA ----- translation---> proteins.

10. The introns are removed and the exons are expressed. Introns are non-coding sections of the mRNA.

11. All of the above options are true. tRNA act as bridges, matching a codon in mRNA with the amino acid it codes for.

12. PCR is a technique used to make multiple copies of DNA using primers. None of the other techniques is used as of now for making multiple copies of DNA.

Extraction: a process of purification of DNA.

Electrophoresis: used in the lab to separate charged molecules, like DNA, according to size.

Reproductive cloning: creating an animal that is genetically identical to a donor animal through somatic cell nuclear transfer.
