<h3>Answer:</h3><h2>A. Missense.</h2><h3>Explanation:</h3>

Since the resulting nucleotide is offset from its initial sequence by only one parallel nucleotide we can definitely say it is Missense mutation. This sort of a mutation is known as a nonsynonymous mutation, there is only one direct substitution that occurs in the codon producing a different amino acid.

The synthesis of nucleotides requires several amino acids. Sort each amino acid as a precursor in the synthesis of purines, pyri

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Glycine is required for purines, aspartate for pyrimidines, glycine and aspartate for both purines and pyrimidines. The remaining amino acids are not required for the synthesis.

Explanation:

Nucleotides are the monomer for the synthesis of DNA and RNA. The two main class of nitrogenous bases are purines and pyrimidines. These nitrogenous bases require the amino acids as a precursor for their synthesis.

Glycine is the simplest amino acid and required for the synthesis of purines. Aspartate is required for the synthesis of pyrimidines. Glutamine and aspartate are required for the synthesis of both purines and pyrimidines. Lysine, leucine, alanine, histidine, methionine, tryptophan and alanine are not used as a precursor for the nucleotides.

Give the sequence of mRNA that would match the following DNA strand

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

mRNA is a complimentary copy of a DNA segment (gene) and consequently can be used to deduce the gene sequence. For converting a sequence from mRNA to the original DNA code, apply the rules of complementary base pairing: Cytosine (C) is replaced with Guanine (G) – and vice versa. Uracil (U) is replaced by Adenine (A).

The codon is the three nucleotide sequence in the mRNA that indicates which amino acid should be incorporated in the growing polypeptide chain. The anticodon is the complementary three nucleotide sequence in the appropriate tRNA.

Bumek [7]

Answer:

By bonding with each other.

Explanation:

Larger macromolecules are formed from smaller macromolecules by making bonds with each other. carbohydrate is a macromolecule which is formed from glucose which is a micromolecule. Proteins is also a macromolecule composed from amino acids while lipid is also a macromolecule that are formed from fatty acids. These small micromolecules join together forming covalent bonds with each other.
