Expert Solution
ANSWER

Phosphate bond are important because

  • structural framework of nucleic acid
  • the energy for producing the DNA polymer comes from the phosphate itself
  • when DNA is synthesized there is an ATP an energy molecule that part of the phosphate backbone i.e. used to link the DNA together
  • very very stable bond and it is very difficult to break

G-C FORMS 3 H BOND WHILE A - T FORMS 2 BOND

because of its structural guanine and adenine are purine group whereas thymine  and cytosine are pyrimidine group

A -T form 2 H bond using 1 nitrogen atom and oxygen atom

G - C form 3 H bond using 2 nitrogen atom and 1 oxygen atom

 

IMPORTANCE OF POLY A TAIL OF mRNA

makes the RNA molecule more stable and prevents its degradation and allows the mature mRNA molecule to be exported from the nucleus and translated into a protein by ribosomes in the cytoplasm

NONSENSE MUTATION

A mutation that prematurely stops the translation of mRNA resulting in a polypeptide chain that ends prematurely and a protein product i.e. truncated and incomplete and usually non-functional.
