Mon-Day 2
BIG, beautiful Zenyatta easily runs by and dwarves the world's best colts and geldings to become the first mare ever to win the BC Classic.
Her unique combination of genes from her sire and dam (dad and mom) gave her the potential (via transcription and translation of those genes) for her enormous size, her great speed, and her special personality.

In transcription, one type of nucleic acid (DNA) codes for another type of nucleic acid (RNA), so there is practically no difference in the coded information or the structures of the molecules or their functions.
In translation, at/on the ribosome, a nucleic acid (mRNA) attracts a complementary nucleic acid (tRNA) that transfers an amino acid to a growing chain of amino acids, thus forming a totally different and functional molecule: a protein. Since proteins are NOT nucleic acids, but rather, chains of AMINO acids, we say that a "translation" (different molecule type = different "language") occurs.
AP Chem- took our Thermochemistry unit exam in which you saw (as practiced) common problems on Hess's Law, calorimetry, bond enthalpies, heats of formation, and descriptive chemistry.
