In addition to the 4 bases in the DNA (adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine), There is also a uracil which is only in the RNA and takes place of thymine.

DNA is a template for making RNA. I hope this answers your question.


What is the change in a gene at the DNA level?

A change in gene level at DNA level can be characterized into two different categories. The first is called a base substitution and the second is called a base addition.

In the semi-conservative hyposistyesis of DNA replication what proportion of a parent DNA strand is contained by each daughter DNA strand?

The replication is semiconservative. Each strand acts as a template for the synthesis of a new DNA molecule by the sequential addition of complementary base pairs, thereby generating a new DNA strand that is the complementary sequence to the parental DNA. Each daughter DNA molecule ends up with one of the original strands and one newly synthesized strand.


How is the term insertion properly defined?

'Insertion' is a therm in genetic science. It describes the addition of nucleotide base pairs into DNA sequences. It might lead to a hazardous mutation of the DNA.


How are two new DNA copies like the original DNA?

DNA (deoxyribosenucleic acid) replicates by a process called semi-conservative replication. In semi-conservative replication, one side of the DNA structure as acts a template and guide for the other strand to copy. Floating nucleotides then match up with the corresponding base (adenine base pairs with thymine, and cytosine base pairs with guanine). This pairing system is known as complementary base pairing. The fact that one side is copied exactly like the other, and the bases are always joined in the same sequence means the chances of a mutation is lessened, hence the two copies are exactly like the original DNA.


What enzyme adds base pairs in order to create the new strands in DNA replication?

DNA polymerase is the enzyme that replicates the pattern of the nucleotide bases. Its function is find the correct base, and then to bond it onto the original strand.


Why the addition of an extra base in a DNA sequence would change the message carried by a DNA molecule?

It could change the type of protein that would be produced hence change the structure and function of that protein.
