    Pg. 287 #1‚3‚4 1. Describe the structure of a nucleotide. A nucleotide is a sugar molecule that has 3 parts including a simple sugar‚ a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. Nucleotides join together forming long chains‚ with the phosphate group of nucleotide bonding to the deoxyribose sugar of an adjacent nucleotide. 3. Explain why the structure of a DNA molecule is often described as a zipper. The structure of a DNA molecule is often described as a zipper because it is made of tow chains

    DNA sequence occurs. It’s because multiple genetic codons can convert into code for the same amino acid. Amino acids are coded for by three nucleotide sets called codons.Ex)Amino acid arginine- coded by * CGT‚ CGC ‚CGA and CGG. If the CGC is changed to CGA‚ the amino acid arginine will still be produced. | Missense Mutation | Missense Mutation modifies the nucleotide sequence so that a different amino acid is produced.

    transfer RNA (tRNA) which transfers a specific active amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain at the ribosomal site of protein synthesis during translation. Each tan ball in the diagram represents an amino acid. The multi-color “piano keys’ represent the four nucleotide bases A‚ G‚ T‚ and C. In the (first) upper stand the A‚ G‚ T‚ and C bases are grouped into a sequence of three‚ called a triplet. Each triplet specifies a particular amino acid. The second strand contains RNA which differs from DNA
