Cells are the basic fundamental and functional unit of life. They are also known as building blocks. It is cell which combines to form tissues and tissues to organ and ogans to organ system and organ systems to organism.
Similarly bricks combine to form walls and walls to building.
They are different as cells form living organism and bricks form non living organism. Cell can divide but a brick cannot divide. The constituents of cell are its cell organelles and the constituents of brick are soil etc.

2. How could one change in a DNA nucleotide alter the formation of the translated protein

vichka [17]

Answer AND Explanation:

Proteins are formed from the translation of mRNA to amino acid. Each set of 3 nucleotides make up a codon that codes for a specific amino acid. Frameshift mutations can also impact the formation of the protein. A change in a nucleotide does not always change the amino acid or protein because some amino acids have more than one set of 3 nucleotides that code for them. Valine, for example, is coded for by GUU, GUC, GUA and GUG. A change in the last nucleotide wouldn't affect the amino acid formed. However,GAG codes for glutamic acid.

it's very practical, because it's on base 10, so conversion between stuff like meters to kilometer is always just a multiplication with 10 to some power

like 1 km = 1000m (10³m)

or 1 m = 10^-3km = 0.001km

same reason for other SI units.

except time, that's base 60, or 12, or 24. that's more complicated, but there isn't any real competition

. Describe the structures of proteins and nucleic acids, and then explain the relationship between these two molecules within a

Snowcat [4.5K]

Proteins are large biomolecules that are made up of long chains of building block molecules called amino acids. Each amino acid folds to form a protein with a specific cellular function.

Nucleic acid is basically DNA & RNA. DNA is the genetic information that contains all the information one needs to live. RNA stands for ribonucleic acid and has a variety of roles.

When comparing them, they actually don't look at all similar when looking at the large molecules or the 'building blocks'. But, they're both made up of mostly carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. The elements mentioned are assembled in different ways for both Proteins & Nucleic acid. The major similarity between them is that with the protein production DNA and RNA contain all the information that a cell uses to make protein.

Their overall interactions can be summed up by the central dogma of molecular biology:

DNA --transcription--> RNA --translation--> Proteins
