nce into mRNA, translating mRNA into a polypeptide, or explaining how mutations can affect protein synthesis. Answers and Explanations: Students should accurately transcribe DNA to mRNA (e.g., DNA: TAC GGA → mRNA: AUG CCU) and translate the mRNA codons into amino acids (e.g., AUG
While effective to some extent, this approach has limitations due to environmental influences on traits and the slow pace of genetic improvement. Modern breeding incorporates genomic tools such as marker-assisted selection (MAS), genomic selection, and gene editing technologies. These advan
