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.

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.


What is the difference between nucleotide deletion and nucleotide insertion?

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.


What are three main types of gene mutations what happens in each gene?

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.

Is a molecular group consisting of sugar molecule a phoosphate group and a nitrogenous base a nucleic acid?

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.

What type of bond is formed between the hydroxyl group of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of an adjacent nucleotide forming the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA?

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.
