What does the order of nuclotides code for?

Nucleotides (A,T,C,G) are read in groups of three during transcription and translation. These groups of three nucleotides are called "codons". The codon codes for one of the 20 amino acids found in mammals. Amino acids are assembled in a chain to form a protein. So, the order of the nucleotides determines the composition and form of the desired protein.

Yes, nucleotides pair with specific complementary nucleotides based on their chemical properties.


What is the composition of nucleic acid?

The composition of the nucleic acid-DNA includes polynucleotides which are composed of guanine, adenine, thymine, cytosine, a phosphate group, and deoxyribose (a monosaccharide sugar).


Which base is found on DNA nucleotides but not rna nucleotides?

Thymine is found on DNA nucleotides but not on RNA nucleotides. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil.


Purine nucleotides mainly differ from pyrimidine nucleotides in their number of?

Purine nucleotides differ from pyrimidine nucleotides in their structure due to the number of nitrogen-containing rings they have. Purine nucleotides have a double-ring structure, while pyrimidine nucleotides have a single-ring structure.

DNA is made of repeating units or monomers called?

nucleotides. A nucleotide consists of a phosphate group, a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in DNA), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). These nucleotides link together in a specific sequence to form the double helix structure of DNA.
