What is a proactive tool that can be used to mitigate risk by identifying potential failures in a process?  

What is the name of the program that assigns a letter grade to a hospital’s patient safety?  

Ligase forms [a] bonds between 5’ phosphate groups and 3’ -OH groups in DNA.   Reverse transcriptase uses [c] as a template to form a complimentary [d] strand.   RNA polymerase binds to the [b] (write coding or non-coding) DNA strand and forms a complimentary molecule of [e], through the process of trans[f]. The monomer units of proteins are [g]

Transcribe the following DNA sequence: (in the first and third blank, indicate 3′ or 5′ end.  Enter the transcript in all caps in the center blank.) 3′ TATGCTACCCGTATCATCTTTACCTCCGATTGCGTACTAA 5′ [a]’ [b] [c]’   Use the codon chart to translate your transcript. Begin translating at AUG and stop when you reach the stop codon.   This is the biologically-significant way that translation works and if you do not do this, you will not receive credit for your translation.  Please separate the amino acid abbreviations with hyphens – i.e. cys-ala-thr-stop [d]

PCR is a clever procedure.  What type of enzyme is used to make this procedure workable?  Why?  Where is this enzyme from?
