Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.

b. If a gene mutation results in a frame shift, meaning the RNA sequence being read shifts
rover by a base, and the translation machinery codes, instead, using the nucleotide
sequence below, what is the amino acid sequence in the resulting portion of protein?

c. If a gene mutation results in a point mutation, meaning a single nucleotide is converted to
a different nucleotide base, and the translation machinery codes, instead, using the
nucleotide sequence below, what is the amino acid sequence in the resulting portion of
protein?
