Chapter 27, Problem 27.32AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The correct reason should be determined for the given statement; does a single base-pair substitution in a strand of DNA always result in a new amino acids in the protein coded for by that gene.

Concept Introduction:

A base is nitrogen containing heterocyclic compound which is found in DNA and RNA.

Gene is the biological unit of heredity which holds the information to build and maintain their cells and pass genetic traits to offspring. In cells, a gene is a portion of DNA.

Amino acids are the molecules which containing an amine group, a carboxylic acid group and a side chain that is specific to each amino acid.

Amino acids are the basic structural building units of protein and other biomolecules.
