The nitrogenous base is the central information carrying part of the nucleotide structure. These molecules, which have different exposed functional groups, have differing abilities to interact with each other.

The second portion of the nucleotide is the sugar. Regardless of the nucleotide, the sugar is always the same. The difference is between DNA and RNA. In DNA, the 5-carbon sugar is deoxyribose, while in RNA, the 5-carbon sugar is ribose. This gives genetic molecules their names; the full name of DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid, and RNA is ribonucleic acid.

The last part of nucleotide structure, the phosphate group, is probably familiar from another important molecule ATP. Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is the energy molecule that most life on Earth relies upon to store and transfer energy between reactions. ATP contains three phosphate groups, which can store a lot of energy in their bonds. Unlike ATP, the bonds formed within a nucleotide are known as phosphodiester bonds, because they happen between the phosphate group and the sugar molecule.

Which two codons in the mRNA represent the amino acid phenylalanine

Trava [24]

Answer:

UUU and UUC

Explanation:

Information that encodes certain functional products called PROTEIN are present in the DNA molecule. However, the information needs to be expressed via the processes of transcription and translation. Transcription is the synthesis of a mRNA using a DNA template.

The mRNA then undergoes translation, where it is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each CODON specifies a particular amino acid. Due to the degenerate nature of the genetic code, more than one codon can specify one amino acid.

Hence, in the case of phenylalanine amino acid, codons UUU and UUC both specify it. This means that whenever UUU and UUC are read during translation, a phenylalanine is added to the peptide chain.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a) How many genotypes will occur in F2

--The genotypes would be- AA Aa aa BB Bb bb CC Cc cc DD Dd dd EE Ee ee (15 genotypes)

Reason-

This is because, after crossing the parents, the F1 generation would all be Heterozygous dominant since one parent is homozygous dominant, while the other is homozygous recessive.

b) 25% of all F2 genotypes would be recessive across the 5 loci

Reason-

This is because each loci would produce only a 25% chance for a recessive trait, which would results to a general probability of 25% also.

c) Yes i would change my answer in A and B if the parent cross was- AABBCCDDEE X aaBBccDDEE

d) Yes i would change my answer in A and B if the parent cross was- AABBCCDDEE X aabbccddEE
