Answer:

DNA is divided into codons which are 3 bases long. Each codon codes for a specific amino acid or signals transcription to stop or start. Inserting or deleting one base pair changes how the DNA is read, so it will often alter the amino acids the DNA sequence produces. As a result, the protein made from the gene may not function properly.

Example:

AAT CGC CGA TGA

Delete the T from the first codon

AAC GCC GAT GA

The entire sequence is read differently ^

Identify the phase of mitosis?

Karolina [17]

Answer:

a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth. tosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus.

Which of these components are found in the DNAs of all living organisms? Group of answer choices Estrogen & Testosterone Hem

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Cytosine & Guanine

Explanation:

Living organisms contain in their cell a biomolecule responsible for the storage and transmission of genetic information called NUCLEIC ACID. DNA is one of the two nucleic acids found in living cells. However, the DNA molecule is a polymer made up of monomeric units called NUCLEOTIDES.

Nucleotides of a DNA are made up of three components namely: 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine). Hence, based on the question, Cytosine & Guanine are the components (nitrogenous base) found in the DNA of all living organism.
