Is a trna anticodon more similar to DNA or RNA in nucleotide sequence?

The question has its answer, tRNA is a type of "RNA" so they would not be expected to be similar to DNA. Anticodon is just a three nucleotide in the tRNA (like codons in mRNA.
DNA is a -deoxy ribose (oxygen is removed at 2' position) containing polymer and RNA doesnt have -deoxy but only the normal oxy (oxygen is not removed) sugar. so chemically or biophysically, they cant be as same as DNA.

Are permanent alterations in a cell's DNA that affect the nucleotide sequence of one or more genes?

What is the nucleotide sequence of the complementary to aaggcgctta?
Well first and foremost a nucleotide would refer to a single letter of that 7 letter sequene. More specifically it would refer to the nitrogenous base (A, T, G, C or U) with phosphates attached to the ribose. Since they are connected through phosphates in DNA nucleotide is an acceptable definition. You have already answered your own question, you have written the nucleotide sequence. It is AATGCGA for that segment of DNA. The names would be adenosine, guanosine, cytosine, and thymine for each of the letters.

What is the spatial relationship between the anticodon on a tRNA and the amino acid that the tRNA picks up?
They are distant; too distant for the anticodon to have any real influence on the amino acid bonding, which makes it all the more interesting.
How does the nucleotide sequence of a gene compare to that of an entirely different gene?
Well, in its basic makeup, its not different at all. All genetic material is made up of the same basic building blocks. In particular gene comparison, you would have to be more specific.
Which do you suppose would be more harmful A mutation that changed the nucleotide sequence of an mRNA molecule or a mutation that changed the nucleotide sequence of a DNA molecule?
A mutation in a DNA nucleotide sequence would be more harmful than a mutation in a mRNA nucleotide sequence because it could cause the synthesis of multiple nonfunctional proteins in comparison to a mutation in a mRNA nucleotide sequence that would be less harmful because it would result in a few nonfunctional proteins.

How are nucleotide sequences used to put organisms in evolutionary order?
When comparing nucleotide sequences in organisms, we find that the organisms that have less differences in their nucleotide sequences are closer related in the evolutionary tree. By this we mean that the common ancestor from which these two organisms evolved is more modern than the ancestor they might share with an organism that shows more difference in the DNA sequencing. Example: the chimps and humans share a common ancestor that is relatively modern because the difference in their nucleotide sequences is just about 1% but the differences between the nucleotide sequence of humans and fish shows lots of differences which shows their common ancestor y much older than the one with chimps.
What is the change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA is called?
A change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA is called a mutation.Mutations take several forms:* substitution: one base is replaced by another* deletion: one or more nucleotides disappear from the sequence and the rest close up* insertion: one or more nucleotides appear between what had been adjacent nucleotides* duplication: a form of insertion in which a sequence of nucleotides is copied and now appears twice instead of once. Mutations can be caused by certain types of radiation, including ultraviolet (UV), and certain chemical compounds, which are therefore referred to as mutagenic.Mutations are particularly likely to occur at a point during replication of DNA when the two strands are separated.

What is an anticodon loop?
tRNA is involved in the translation of the nucleic acid message into the amino acids of proteins. tRNA itself is an RNA molecule with a conserved inverted L structure. One end of the tRNA contains an anticodon loop which pairs with a mRNA specifying a certain amino acid. The other end of the tRNA has the amino acid attached to the 3' OH group via an ester linkage.tRNA with an attached amino acid is said to be "charged". The enzyme that attaches the amino acid to the 3'-OH is called an aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (aaRS). There is a specific tRNA for each amino acid, 20 in all. Similarly, there is a specific aaRS for each tRNA.Only the first 2 nucleotides in the tRNA anticodon loop are strictly required for the decoding of the mRNA codon into an amino acid. The third nucleotide in the anticodon is less stringent in its base-pairing to the codon, and is referred to as the "wobble" base. Since the genetic code is degenerate, meaning that more than one codon can specify a single amino acid, the anticodon of tRNA can pair with more than one mRNA codon and still be specific for a single amino acid.
What is the scientific meaning for gene?
A gene is a specific sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that is located usually on a chromosome and that is the functional unit of inheritance controlling the transmission and expression of one or more traits by specifying the structure of a particular polypeptide and especially a protein or controlling the function of other genetic material.
Which tRNA anticodon will complement this mRNA codon?
3 *** if u want more explanation. basically it is called translation. tRNA decodes the message. If mRNA is AUG, tRNA will attach an anitcodon. Since there is no T in RNA then for A it will be U. For U it will be A and then G will base pair with C. So you will have an anticodon of UAC - which will bring in the amino acid methionine.
How does a anticodon function?
an anti-codon functions kind of the way other guys do to you when you are talking to a girl. the girl is the DNA and you are the codon. you have a good thing going complementing the DNA. then the anticodon (the other guy) comes up and completely shuts you down because he is more attractive and him and the girl just click more than you because you are socially awkward.
