Answer:

e. Purines pair with pyrimidines

Explanation:

Diameter of DNA double helix is uniform through out the structure and it is 2 nm. This uniformity is due to the base pairing between a purine and a pyramidine. Purine base is made of two rings and pyramidine base has a single ring. All the bases are either derived from purine or from pyramidine structure and a purine always pairs with pyramidine. Two purines or two pyramidines can not pair with each other. So at any point along the DNA molecule, the sugar phosphate backbones always have three ring structure between them, hence the uniform diameter.

Based on the information in the table, which of the following changes is least likely to produce a phenotypic
yaroslaw [1]

GAU to GAC​ is least likely to change phenotype of an organism.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Phenotype of an organism is defined as the physical characteristics of an organism. This phenotype is dependent on the genotype of the organisms. This means the phenotypic characters are actually the expressions of the genes of the organisms. Now the genes are expressed in form of codons that are the three nitrogen base sequences. Each codon codes for a particular amino acid which in turn polymerises to from the protein which actually forms the phenotype of the organism.

Now there are 20 amino acids and 64 codons. Thus there are more than 1 codons for a single amino acid. So, if a codon is replaced by another codon which codes for same amino acid, then the phenotype is least likely to be affected.

Both the GAU and  GAC​ codes for aspartic acid. So the phenotype won't be affected much by this mutation
