Answer:

A nonsense mutation is a genetic mutation in a DNA sequence that results in a shorter, unfinished protein product. DNA is a chain of many smaller molecules called nucleotides. During protein formation, DNA (or RNA) nucleotide sequences are read three nucleotides at a time in units called codons, and each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid or stop signal (stop codon).

Why aren't lipids considered polymers?

OverLord2011 [107]

A polymer is made up of monomers. A monomer is a unit that occurs in repetitive chains. Lipids do not occur in repetitive chains, so they are not classified as monomers. Since they're not monomers, they can't make up polymers, either.
