Cоmplimentаry bаse pаiring is a crucial cоmpоnent of the processes of the Central Dogma. In fact, for each of the processes we have discussed – replication, repair, transcription, splicing, and translation – the process would not occur without complimentary base pairing at one step or another. Pick three different processes (replication, repair, transcription, splicing, and translation), name the process and briefly (2-3 sentences max) describe how complimentary base pairing is used. (15 pts) Include the answers for A, B, and C in your response. A) Example 1 (5 pts) B) Example 2 ( 5 pts) C) Example 3 (5 pts)
