No, a gene is larger than a nucleotide. A gene is a segment of DNA that contains instructions for making a specific protein, while a nucleotide is a building block of DNA that makes up genes.
Point Mutation- a type of gene mutation in which only a single nucleotide in a gene has been changed.
Clearly, a nucleus is much larger than a nucleotide. A nucleotide is essentially a molecule. Therefore, it can only me measured in molecular dimensions. The nucleus is the largest organelle within a eukaryotic cell.
An allele is a specific form of a gene, while a SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) is a variation in a single nucleotide within a gene. In other words, alleles are different versions of a gene, while SNPs are specific points of genetic variation within a gene.
Yes, substitution is a type of gene mutation where one nucleotide is replaced by another in the DNA sequence.
From largest to smallest, nucleic acid structures are organized as follows: chromosome, chromatin, DNA double helix, DNA strand, gene, and nucleotide.
nucleotide, gene, chromosome, gamete

A 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.
yes and a genome is larger than both
An allele is a specific form of a gene, while a SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) is a variation in a single nucleotide within a gene. In other words, alleles are different versions of a gene, while SNPs are specific points of genetic variation within a 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.
