Concept explainers

Coding Strand of DNA
When pointing to DNA transcription, the coding strand is found to be the DNA strand whose base sequence is indistinguishable from the base sequence of the RNA transcript developed. It is this strand that comprises the codons, while the non-coding strand …
Nucleotide
Both DNA and RNA are composed of organic molecules known as nucleotides. Hence, nucleotides are known as the basic building blocks of nucleic acids. These substances play a role in various processes such as cell signalling, enzyme reactions, metabolism, …
Structure of Cytosine
Cytosine is among the five primary nitrogenous bases of which DNA and RNA and are being used in storage and transportation of genetic makeup within a cell. Adenine, guanine, thymine as well as uracil are the remaining four nucleobases.

Chapter 13.4, Problem 13.10YT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The advantages of a genetic code in which several codons represent the same amino acid have to be suggested.

Concept Introduction:

Genetic codons:

DNA is a nucleic acid. The nucleic acid is a polymer of the nucleotides which are monomeric units. The sequence of bases of the nucleotides codes an amino acid. Such a sequence of bases is known as a DNA codon. Once the amino acids are coded, a protein that is formed from the amino acids can be found. So, the DNA that is ultimately coding a protein is known as Gene or genetic codons.
