They are like the letters in an alphabet because the letters in an alphabet form together to make words and the bases form together to make the nucleic acids.

∙ 9y agoDNA information is read using base pairs of nucleotides. There are only four bases in DNA (but one different one in RNA). The cell reads genes in groups of three bases.
Each group of three bases (codons) corresponds to one of 20 different amino acids used to build a protein.
If a mutation disrupts this reading frame, then the entire DNA sequence following the mutation will be read incorrectly.
Here is an example of one sentence with words of only three letters:The big red pig ate the red rag. Each word will make one amino acid and the words make a sentence that makes sense.
Mutations that replaces one base for another will result in this: The beg red peg ate the red rag. This mutation can be read OK.
But another type might make the sentence totally readable: The big res dpi gat eth ere dra g.

∙ 11y agoit contains only 4 nucleiotides and so only 2 base pairs these being adenine thymine guanine and cytosine so it is different because it contains only 4 nucleiotides and 2 base pairs

How is genetic information passed from one generation to the next?
So when there id fertilisation the genetic information is passed on through the parents to the offspring because the two cells fuse so does the nuclei with the two halves of genetic information.
Who owns and controls genetic information?
If you are tested for or diagnosed with a genetic disorder and this information becomes a part of your medical record, insurance companies, employers, and other agencies may be able to access this information.
In an animal cell what structure is responsible for storing genetic information (DNA) for the cell?
Nucleus.
How are observations and inferences similar?
They both give information
Which biomolecule is most responsible for storing genetic informoation?
These molecule are DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
If all the genetic information anatomical similarities and fossil record support the same pattern of relationships is the pattern accurate?
Yes. If genetic information is similar, then the organisms had a common ancestor. The more similar the genes, the more recent the ancestor, as in, the more closely related the organisms are. If anatomical patterns are similar to genetic similaritiesm, then chances are the patterns are fairly accurate.
Why is it necessary for cells to have both dna and rna when they are so similar?
Because DNA stores genetic information while RNA transports genetic information so one stores genetic info and the other transports genetic information (hereditary) RNA- Ribo Nucleic Acid DNA- DeoxyRibo Nucleic ACid
Why is the English alphabet so similar to the Phoenician alphabet?
It's really not similar at all. The Phoenician alphabet has 22 consonants and no vowels. The only similarity is that the English alphabet is a version of the Latin alphabet which was adapted from the Greek alphabet alphabet which was adapted from the Phoenician alphabet.
What is the alphabet for the genetic code?
It is the code for amino acids
Is a viral species a group of viruses that have the same genetic information and ecological niche?
no, very similar genetic information. as you and i dont have the same genetic information do we? same ecological niche? well sorta, i wouldnt call it an ecological niche, the factors that make the niche such as temperature, humidity, host range would be the same.
Why is the English alphabet similar to the Albanian alphabet?
Both English and Albanian use versions of the Latin alphabet.
Where is genetic information in the cell?
The Genetic information can be found inside the Nucleus.
What is a sentence with genetic information?
Genetic information is in chromosomes found in the DNA.
What percentage of the offspring's genetic information is the same as the genetic information of the parent?
An offspring receives half of its genetic information from its mother, and half from its father.
Where is genetic information in the nucleus stored?
Genetic information is stored in the chromosomes.
What percent of the offspring's genetic information is the same as the genetic information of the parent?
13.3
What DNA does?
It is the genetic matirial of all living organisms. It makes you look and act similar yet not exactly the same as your parents or siblings.
