Nucleotides are read in groups of three, and inserting a nucleotide will mess up the process. Think of the sentence: "She did not eat the pie". If you insert a letter, everything up to that point will be the same, but the spacing afterwards will be off: "She did nzo tea tth epi e". This will cause all of the amino acids after that point to be incorrect, and the resulting protein to be nonfunctional.

Which is not a monomer a nucleotide an amino acid or a protein?
proteins can be considered to be polymer of amino acids
How many amino acids does the strand of dna gccttatgc have?
That strand should have 3 amino acids, because one amino acid is composed of three nucleotide bases.
How many amino acids will be formed from a 15-nucleotide sequence?
5, this was a bio question for me at Edison community college.
He nucleotide sequences on DNA that actually have information encoding a sequence of amino acids are?
exons
What is the mutation cause of insertion?
An insertion mutation is when an extra nucleotide is inserted into the DNA molecule.For example if the original sequence is:AATGCATGGACTan insertion could be:AATCGCATGGACTThis would change the code from: AAT GCA TGG ACTto AAT CGC ATG GAC T.....You can see that after the insertion all the codes are changed. Since each set of three nucleotides codes for an amino acid, this would change all of the subsequent amino acids in the protein coded for by the gene.
What occurs when a single nucleotide is replaced by another nucleotide and it can change one of the amino acids for which the gene codes?
point mutation
How many amino acids can be coded from a nucleotide?
2
Which is not a monomer a nucleotide an amino acid or a protein?
proteins can be considered to be polymer of amino acids
How many amino acids would the a nucleotide have?
3 nucleotides code for 1 amino acid
A DNA nucleotide does not contain?
A nucleotide does not contain an organic acid.A nucleotide is similar to a nucleoside but does not contain a polymerase.
How do transciption and translation change information from one form to another?
From nucleic acids to amino acids. Transcription copies the nucleotide sequence of DNA into RNA; in translation ribosomes recreate the messenger-RNA pattern into a copy of the sequence.

Nucleotides are to nucleic acids as amino acids are to?
An amino acid is the monomer used to create proteins. Nucleotides are the basic unit used to make nucleic acids (such as DNA). Therefore an amino acid is to a protein as a nucleotide is to a nucleic acid.
What are the repeating units of proteins?
the repeating units of protein are called amino acids.
