Nucleotides are read in groups of three, and inserting a nucleotide will mess up the process. Think of the sentence: "She did not eat the pie". If you insert a letter, everything up to that point will be the same, but the spacing afterwards will be off: "She did nzo tea tth epi e". This will cause all of the amino acids after that point to be incorrect, and the resulting protein to be nonfunctional.
What else can I help you with?
Which is not a monomer a nucleotide an amino acid or a protein?
proteins can be considered to be polymer of amino acids
Would a 3-nucleotide insertion result in a frameshift?
Yes, a 3-nucleotide insertion would typically result in a frameshift mutation because it would disrupt the reading frame of the genetic code. This can lead to a different sequence of amino acids being produced during translation and potentially alter the function of the resulting protein.
How many amino acids will be formed from a 15-nucleotide sequence?
5, this was a bio question for me at Edison community college.
If there are three amino acids how many bases would there be on the M RNA to make these three?
Each amino acid is encoded by a set of three nucleotide bases in mRNA, known as a codon. Therefore, to encode three amino acids, there would need to be a total of nine nucleotide bases in the mRNA (3 amino acids x 3 bases per amino acid = 9 bases).
What is The Benefit Of Having More Nucleotide Combinations Than Amino Acids?
By having more codons to code a particular amino acids, it makes it easier to produce in the cell and need to be supplemented from food(essential amino acids are normally not synthesized in our cell).
How many amino acids can be coded from a nucleotide?

What does a nucleotide not contain?
A nucleotide does not contain amino acids. Nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a sugar molecule, and a phosphate group. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are separate from nucleotides in terms of their structure and function.
How many amino acids would the a nucleotide have?
A nucleotide does not contain any amino acids. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA and consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are coded for by sequences of nucleotides in DNA.

5, this was a bio question for me at Edison community college.
What are the repeating units of proteins?
the repeating units of protein are called amino acids.
Which kind of mutation is most likely to produce a protein with one extra amino acid?
A frameshift mutation, such as an insertion of one nucleotide, is most likely to produce a protein with one extra amino acid. This type of mutation shifts the reading frame of the genetic code, leading to a change in the entire sequence of amino acids after the mutation site.
If there are three amino acids how many bases would there be on the M RNA to make these three?
Each amino acid is encoded by a set of three nucleotide bases in mRNA, known as a codon. Therefore, to encode three amino acids, there would need to be a total of nine nucleotide bases in the mRNA (3 amino acids x 3 bases per amino acid = 9 bases).
What type of covalent bond holds together the amino acids in DNA?
There are no amino acids in desoxy ribo nucleic acid: its is (desoxy)-ribose (carbohydrate)and nucleic acid not amino!
Why does an insertion mutation usually cause defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation?
Insertion mutations can affect many amino acids in the protein.An insertion mutation usually causes more defects during protein synthesis than point mutation because an insertion mutation will affect many amino acids in the protein.
Nucleotides are to nucleic acids as amino acids are to?
An amino acid is the monomer used to create proteins. Nucleotides are the basic unit used to make nucleic acids (such as DNA). Therefore an amino acid is to a protein as a nucleotide is to a nucleic acid.
