Weegy: The start codon is the initiation signal for translation of an mRNA sequence.
User: What is the difference between germline mutations and somatic mutations?
A. Germline mutations are inherited from a parent, while somatic mutations are caused by mutagens in the environment.
B. Germline mutations are caused by mutagens in the environment, while somatic mutations are inherited from a parent.
C. Germline mutations can't be passed on from a parent to a child, while somatic mutations can.
D. Germline mutations can cause serious problems, while somatic mutations don't.

User: The enzyme DNA polymerase works only in the 5 to 3 direction. How does this affect the leading strand and the lagging strand?
A. DNA polymerase can work on both the leading and the lagging strand but is much faster on the leading strand.
B. DNA polymerase can use only the leading strand as a template. A different enzyme is used to synthesize DNA on the lagging strand.
C. DNA polymerase can work continuously on the leading strand but must flip the lagging strand around before it can work on it.
D. DNA polymerase can work continuously on the leading strand but works discontinuously on the lagging strand, creating Okazaki fragments.
