List the order of nucleotides on the mRNA that would be transcribed from the following DNA sequence: CGATTACTTA.

List the subcellular structures that participate in translation.

Transcription________ A. synthesizes new daughter DNA molecules from an existing DNA molecule; B. results in the synthesis of an RNA copy of a gene; C. pairs thymines (T) with adenines (A); D. occurs on ribosomes
