| Little girl, you are correct. Do you know about the DNA replication process? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Yes, I remember reading that two strands of double helix separate and each strand produces a new strand. Then, nucleotides line up one at a time across the strand. | |
 | |  |

|
|
 | |  |
| Yes, but in the end the enzymes link the nucleotides together to form the 2 new DNA strands. You are one smart girl. | |

| Thank you! Can you tell me what RNA is used for? | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Of course. RNA carries the building blocks and intreprets information. It also forms ribosomes that create protein molecules | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Neat-o! One last thing, where are DNA and RNA located within the cell? | |
