What is the resulting polypeptide: _______________________________________________________? What effect does this mutation have on the polypeptide? Make sure to compare to the original polypeptide. How could you have an insertion or deletion mutation that does not cause a frame shift?
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.

Polypeptide
It is defined as the polymer of amino acids that are attached together by the peptide bonds. These polypeptides or proteins are the building blocks of cells, tissues, hormones, etc.
