The four types of nucelotides are Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Adenine. For RNA, Adenine is replaced with Uracil, which is a smaller nucleotide of sorts. The four nucleotides pair as Thymine and Adenine (or Uracil in RNA), and Guanine or Cytosine.
adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine, uracil
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.
Here's a sample nucleotide sequence:AATUGCIf there was a nucleotide deletion (let's say the "G" gets deleted), the sequence would become:AATUCIf there was a nucleotide addition/insertion (let's say a "G" was added between "T' and "U"), the sequence would become:AATGUGCThe difference is that a deletion makes the DNA shorter and an insertion makes it longer.
The three main types of gene mutations are point mutations, insertion mutations, and deletion mutations. Point mutations involve changes to a single nucleotide base. Insertion mutations involve the addition of extra nucleotide bases. Deletion mutations involve the removal of nucleotide bases in a gene sequence.
Glycerol is not a subunit of nucleotides. Glycerol is a subunit of triglycerides and phospholipids (types of lipids).
No, a molecular group consisting of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base is not a nucleic acid. Nucleic acids are polymers made up of nucleotide monomers, which contain a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. The arrangement of these nucleotide monomers forms DNA or RNA, the two types of nucleic acids.
Nucleotide
A adenine (A) nucleotide will bind to thymine (T) nucleotide in parental DNA through hydrogen bonding.
Bears and raccoons use the same bases, but in different orders. (apex)
Uracil, thymine, cytosine, guanine, adenine
A phosphodiester bond is formed between the hydroxyl group of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of an adjacent nucleotide when linking nucleotides to form the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA. This bond involves the condensation reaction between the hydroxyl group of the 3' carbon of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of the 5' carbon of the adjacent nucleotide.
Nucleotide is the monomer. Nucleotide is the monomer of Nucleic Acids.
