Answer: No
Explanation: if a nucleic acid contains uracil then it is not DNA it's an RNA. Uracil is the basic nitrogenous base of RNA. DNA does not have Uracil in its structure. It contains thiamine instead of Uracil. So the answer is NO.
Answer:
A point mutation in the 1st base of a codon
Explanation:
A point mutations are mutations of one base in the DNA sequence. The effects of point mutations might be harmful, beneficial or neutral.
Deletion mutations are frameshift mutation, because they change the reading frame and thus affect the sequence of amino acids produced. Usually, protein changes its structure and function and become useless.
Point mutations at 2nd base of codon are misssense mutations, meaning that the new amino acid is produced, but it can be amino acid with similar properties. That will not affect the function of the protein a lot.
3rd base of a codon are often silent mutations, which means that the sam amino acid is produced (multiple codons can code for the same amino acid).
Answer:
C) Three hydrogen bonds will form with guanine.
Explanation:
Generally the DNA molecule is made up of Purines bases of Adenine and Guanine,and Pyrimidine of Cytosine and Guanine.However,RNA contains a different pyrimidine of Uracil.Thus the pairing is A-U am C-G.The uracil replaces Thymine.
The structure above is a Pyrimidine,because it is made up of single ring structure(an heterocylclic aromatic structure) compare to double structure of purines. Heterocyclic means it is ring form.Aromatic means it has resonance bonds which shift with the rings for stability.
It is also contains of two substitutes at position 4 of the ring structure (amineNH2) and at 2 which is the Keto group(=0).Therefore the structure is Cytosine.
In RNA structure the Cytosine pair with the three hydrogen bonds with guanine,while Adenine pair with Uracil.This ensures stability of the RNA structure.
Answer:
The heart is a muscular organ about the size of a fist, located just behind and slightly left of the breastbone. The heart pumps blood through the network of arteries and veins called the cardiovascular system.
