- Which best describes the storage of the genetic code? A gene is a segment of DNA, a condensed DNA molecule makes up a chromosome, a chromosome is inside a nucleus, and a nucleus is contained within a cell. A DNA molecule is a segment of a gene, a gene makes up a chromosome, a chromosome is inside a cell, and a cell is contained within a nucleus. A gene is a segment of a chromosome, a condensed chromosome makes up a DNA molecule, a DNA molecule is inside a nucleus, and a nucleus is contained within a cell. A DNA molecule is a segment of a chromosome, a chromosome makes up a gene, a gene is inside a cell, and a cell is contained within a nucleus.arrow_forwardLabel each statement as pertaining to DNA, RNA, or both. a. The polynucleotide is double stranded. b. The polynucleotide may contain adenine. c. The polynucleotide may contain dGMP. d. The polynucleotide is a polymer of ribonucleotides.arrow_forwardThe codon chart below shows that adenine-uracil-guanine (AUG) codes for the amino acid methionine, and cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG) codes for glutamine in humans.

- Use the first picture and codon table to answer the following questions.arrow_forwardShown below is a DNA coding strand. A base (*G*) mutates to Adenine (A). What will be the resulting amino acid sequence as a result of the mutation? What type of mutation occured? Hint: Determine the template, then first determine the amino acid sequence before the mutation, and then determine the amino acid sequence after the mutation. Show how you got your answer. 5' T-A-C-T-T-C-C-A-*G*-C-C-G-C-T-C 3'arrow_forwardWhich of the following could be the mRNA codon, the codon on the DNA sense strand, and the codon on the DNA antisense strand for the amino acid valine?

- For each of these symbols, write out the full name of the base and of the nucleoside. Indicate which are components of DNA and which are components of RNA:a. Tb. Ac. Gd. Ce. Uarrow_forwardA gene contains the sequence CGCATACGGTAC that results in the amino acid sequence arg-ile-arg-tyr. A mutation in this gene removes the first G in the strand.What is true of this mutation's effect on the phenotype?1.It will affect the phenotype because although most of the protein will be identical, the first amino acid will be different.2.It will not affect the phenotype because the protein will be identical to the original protein.3.It will affect the phenotype because all the amino acids past this point will be different from the original protein.4.It will not affect the phenotype because only the first amino acid is different from the original protein.arrow_forwardIn Watson and Crick's model of DNA structure, the two strands of the DNA double helix are joined through a. Ionic bonds b. Hydrophobic interactions c. Covalent bonds d. Disulfide bonds e. Hydrogen bondsarrow_forward
