Hey I had difficulty answering these questions (from biozone):
How can simple nucleotide units combine to store genetic information?
Describe the consequence of the degeneracy of the genetic code to the likely effect of a change to one base in a triplet
Explain why RNA strand is synthesized 5' to 3'
Any help is much appreciated
The sequence of nucleotides stores information as it determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
The degeneracy of the genetic code refers to the fact that one amino acid may be coded for by more than one codon. Therefore, the change of one base in a triplet does not necessarily mean that the amino acid that that triplet codes for is different.
RNA polymerase reads the template strand 3'-5' which means that the mRNA strand that is synthesised is 5'-3'.
I don't know if I have explained this right but I hope it helped
Hi guys. In an experiment investigating the effect of wavelength of light on the rate of photosynthesis, would the control group have no light or white light?
Thanks!
