5.

What do the different combinations of nucleotide bases (A, T, G, C) represent? (ex: CATGCAT = pointy ears)

a)

The cell

b)

They are random, why are we learning this?

c)

The traits coded for by genes

d)

ACGT is an acronym for the four types of bases found in a DNA molecule: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). A DNA molecule consists of two strands wound around each other, with each strand held together by bonds between the bases.

DNA Replication

d)

Translation

POINT MUTATION: a single point in the sequence is changed. For instance a G is changed to an A.

FRAMESHIFT MUTATION - a mutation that involves an addition or deletion, which results in a shift in the reading frame.

A SILENT MUTATION occurs when the nucleotide changes, but the resulting amino acid is the same.

A NONSENSE MUTATION occurs when a codon is changed to a STOP codon. If a codon is changed to STOP, the building of the amino acid terminates and the protein is incomplete.


Original DNA: CCC GGG

Mutated DNA: CGC GGG


What kind of mutation is this?

a)

Point

b)

Frameshift

c)

Silent

d)

Nonsense
