DNA together with RNA are the most important molecules in biology. It is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms in our planet. Most DNA is found in the nucleus and some or small portion can be found in the mitochondria.

The main features of the three-dimentional structure of DNA are:
DNA is double-stranded composing of two polynucleotide strands alongside each other which are wound round each other to form a double helix. The two strands are joined together by hydrogen bonds between the bases and these bases form base pairs which is like a rung of a ladder. The base pairs are specific. Base pair A only binds to T (T with A), and C only binds to G (G with C). These are called complementary base pairs. As a wholes, DNA molecules control the production of proteins which characterize each type of organism.

when those 2 splits up, it will use up that extra water molecule, and that process is called hydrolysis.

Which change in DNA was a point mutation?
Margarita [4]

Answer: These external agents of genetic change are called mutagens. Exposure to mutagens often causes alterations in the molecular structure of nucleotides, ultimately causing substitutions, insertions, and deletions in the DNA sequence.

Explanation: Point mutations are a large category of mutations that describe a change in single nucleotide of DNA, such that that nucleotide is switched for another nucleotide, or that nucleotide is deleted, or a single nucleotide is inserted into the DNA that causes that DNA to be different from the normal or wild type gene
