Substitution


Which mutation occurs when one nucleotide base in replaced with another base?

the substitution has little effect because UGU and UGC both translate into the same amino acid--cysteine.


How are the nucleotide monomers connected to form a polynucleotide?

The sugar pentose is connected to the nitrogenous base this is called a nucleotide. nucleotides are joined by phosphodiester linkages between the phosphate of one nucleotide and the sugar of the next.

What is the nucleotide associated with chemical messages?

The nucleotide that is associated with chemical messages is Messenger RNA. This is a nucleotide that is similar to DNA except it only has one strand instead of two, thymine is replaced with uracil, and there is ribose instead of deoxyribose.

Which components varies from one Nucleotide to another in DNA?

The nitrogenous base is what causes variation from one nucleotide to another in DNA. The deoxyribose and phosphate group are the same on all nucleotides.


What are types of point mutation?

The types of point mutations are: base-pair substitution, insertions, deletions, and frameshift mutations. In base-pair substitution, one nucleotide and its corresponding partner are replaced with another pair of nucleotide. In insertion, nucleotide pairs are added to a gene. In deletion, nucleotide pairs are taken out of a gene. Frameshift mutation happens as a result of insertion or deletion when more or less than three (or a multiple of three) nucleotide pairs are added to or taken from a gene.
