Answer:

Bad mutation: deletion/addition mutation

Good mutation: silent mutation

Explanation:

Addition or deletion mutation results in the reading frame of codons to be changed, leading to a extensive missense mutation that will lead to a non-functional protein product to form.

Good mutation are silent mutations that leads to no change to the final product but causes codons to change in sequence. This increases genetic diversity in the gene pool that enables the species to be more resilient to environmental changes.

Now that you have identified the components of DNA, can you describe how these components bind together to form a DNA molecule?

omeli [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is attached below.

Answer:

1. DNA is the polymer of deoxyribonucleotides that contain the nitrogenous base, pentose sugar and phosphate group. The phosphate is attached with the 3 C position of the deoxyribose sugar. This leads to teh formation of phosphodiester bond.

2. The DNA backbone consists of phosphate and sugar. The nitrogenous bases are inserted inside the DNA molecule. These nitrogenous bases are linked together by the hydrogen bonds.

3. The adenine binds requires two hydrogen bonds to bind with thymine. This provide complementary nature to the DNA molecule. Uracil is present instead of thymine in RNA .

4. The guanine binds requires three hydrogen bonds to bind with cytosine. More amount of energy is required to break their bonds.
