- a Describe the three components of a nucleotide. b How does the structure of an RNA nucleotide differ from that of a DNA nucleotide?arrow_forwardMust the ratio of guanine to cytosine be 1:1 in RNA? Explain.arrow_forwardAlthough RNA is single-stranded, the strand sometimes folds back on itself to give a complementary portion. What would be the complementary portion of the RNA fragment having the bases uracil-cytosine-guanine? A virus is a particle that contains DNA or RNA that is surrounded by a coat of protein that can replicate only in a host cell. The influencza virus shown in this electron microscope image is an RNA virus.arrow_forward
- Explain why the base sequence ATC could not be a codon.arrow_forwardWhich base is found in DNA but not in RNA? a. thymine b. cytosine c. guanine d. adeninearrow_forwardThe base composition for one of the strands of a DNA double helix is 19% A, 34% C, 28% G, and 19% T. What is the percent base composition for the other strand of the DNA double helix?arrow_forward
- In the flow of genetic information, what is meant by the terms transcription and translation?arrow_forwardIn messenger RNA, a codon contains how many nucleotides? a.one b.two c.three d.fourarrow_forwardThe DNA template strand segment 3TTCAAACCGTAC5 upon transcription and translation produces the amino acid sequence Lys-Phe-Gly-Met. What is the amino acid sequence produced if a frameshift mutation occurs in which the third A base in the original DNA sequence is removed?arrow_forward
