Section 3.2: Genetic Code

Exercise 8
Step 1
1 of 2
The answer is 1. A DNA is double stranded with two polynucleotide chain which consists of a phosphate, a sugar and a nitrogen base. Adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine are the four types of nitrogen bases.

Exercise 10
Step 1

The answer is 2. A ribosome combines together amino acids by attaching to a part of the mRNA and a complementary amino acid on a tRNA molecule. Synthesis of enzymes would stop because this is usually processed in the ribosomes.

Exercise 13
Step 1

Exercise 15
Result
1 of 1
The connection between an information from DNA and an amino acid is called a genetic code. It is important that the genetic code must separate between the bases for it to equally express the same type of code for replication.
Exercise 16
Step 1
1 of 2
The answer is 2. The nucleus is the organelle wherein it converts DNA into proteins. DNA is replicated, transcribed and translated to proteins in the the nucleus.

Exercise 19
Step 1
1 of 2
The answer is 4. The main function of ribosomes is to make proteins. These proteins are needed in various functions of the cell in order to maintain homeostasis. A ribosome combines together amino acids by attaching to a part of the mRNA and a complementary amino acid on a tRNA molecule.

Exercise 22
Step 1

Exercise 23
Step 1

The answer is 4. Mutations may be spontaneous wherein the original strand is replaced with another or added with a new one. Another way wherein mutations arise is by inducing a response created by exposure to chemicals or radiation.

DNA mutations are mistakes formed in a DNA sequence which can be a result of adding, removing or substituting the original or specified DNA molecule.
Exercise 25
Step 1
1 of 2
The answer is 3. Mutations may be spontaneous wherein the original strand is replaced with another or added with a new one. This type of mutation may be passed on to generations if the gene acquired is carried from the parents to the offspring.

Exercise 26
Step 1

The answer is 2. As living organisms reproduce, sex cells are the ones involved during the process of transferring the genetic material from parent to offspring. Sex cells exchange or transfer genetic material from each other.
