Answer:

Explanation:

DNA contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce.

Contains the genetic instructions for the development and function of living things

The two major processes that the DNA performs in the cell include:

Storage of genetic information
Synthesis of protein for the regulation of cellular activities.

The DNA stores the genetic information relating to the cell and ensures that the integrity of stored information is preserved and inherited by subsequent generations. It does this by replicating itself in a semi-conservative way and copies of the replicated DNA are inherited by subsequent generations. This is why the DNA is otherwise known as the molecule of hereditary.

DNA is also at the center of protein synthesis. It forms the template for the synthesis of RNA in a process known as transcription and the RNA forms the genetic codes for the synthesis of protein.

Hence, storage of genetic information and indirect regulation of cellular processes are two major processes attributable to the DNA.

Generally speaking, which of the following mutations would most severely affect the protein coded for by a gene?a) a base substi

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Answer is C.

Explanation:

For A and B, a base substitution affects one of the three bases that comprise a codon, the DNA/RNA unit that corresponds to a particular amino acid. If one base is substituted, one codon and therefore one amino acid will be affected. Codons have built-in redundancy, so even by changing one base, the new codon sometimes still corresponds to the same amino acid. Therefore, a base substitution at most affects one amino acid, and sometimes doesn't affect it all.

Frameshift mutations cause a lot more trouble. These occur when you have a deletion or insertion that changes the number of bases in your gene. As a result, the "frame" of the codons changes (everything shifts one way or the other by the number of bases added/removed). This affects EVERY codon downstream of the mutation, so you can imagine that such a mutation would have a bigger effect the closer to the start of the gene it occurs. This is why C is correct.

If a nucleotide lacking a hydroxyl group at the 3' end were added to a pcr reaction, what would be the outcome?

Verdich [7]

The correct answer is b. no additional nucleotides would be added to a growing strand containing that nucleotide.

Nucleotides without a 3’hydroxy group are called dideoxynucleotides (ddNTD). Dideoxynucleotides are inhibitors of DNA polymerase because after being added in PCR reaction no further nucleotides can be added as no phosphodiester bond can be created (usually 3' hydroxyl group of the previous nucleotide attaches to 5' phosphate of the current nucleotide).
