Concept explainers

DNA and RNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is usually called the blueprint of life. Deoxyribose is a monosaccharide that has a key function in the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid. One less oxygen-containing hydroxyl group occurs in deoxyribose sugar. Nucleic acid, d…
DNA as the Genetic Material
DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a long polymeric nucleic acid molecule discovered in the late 1930s. It is a polymer; a long chain-like molecule made up of several monomers connected in a sequence. It possesses certain characteristics that qualify it a…
Genetics
The significant branch in science which involves the study of genes, gene variations, and the organism's heredity is known as genetics. It is also used to study the involvement of a gene or set of genes in the health of an individual and how it prevents …
DNA Replication
The mechanism by which deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is capable of producing an exact copy of its own is defined as DNA replication. The DNA molecules utilize a semiconservative method for replication.
Question
Can someone explain mutations in nucleotide sequences
Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1: nucleotide sequence mutation

The genetic material is the DNA, it is made up of small subunits called nucleotides. These nucleotides in different arrangements forms code for amino acids (triplet = 3 letters in different arrangements of A/G/T/C forms sequence for amino acid) ( see genetic code for this).

Any changevin the sequence of these nucleotides may change the sequence in the amino acids which in turn affects protein translated.
