Answer:
DNA is divided into codons which are 3 bases long. Each codon codes for a specific amino acid or signals transcription to stop or start. Inserting or deleting one base pair changes how the DNA is read, so it will often alter the amino acids the DNA sequence produces. As a result, the protein made from the gene may not function properly.
Example:
AAT CGC CGA TGA
Delete the T from the first codon
AAC GCC GAT GA
The entire sequence is read differently ^
The kerb cycle is the second stage and the last stage is the electron transport chain
Bacteria perform important functions in the soil, decomposing organic residues from enzymes released into the soil. Each functional bacteria group plays a role in recycling soil nutrients.
Hello!
There are two possible answers to this. The one I'm assuming you're looking for is hydrogen bonds.
Hydrogen bonds are the bonds which hold together the double helix shape of DNA. These bonds result from a positive and negative charge drawing two molecules closer to each other. These bonds are generally seen as weak, however, since there are so many of these bonds (as there are so many nitrogenous bases in one strand of DNA), the double helix strand is fairly strong.
Hope this helps!
