Question

consider the figure below: a mutation occurs, and cytosine is replaced with adenine. what impact do you think this will have on the dna structure? there will be an impact because the dna molecule at that position will go from 3 hydrogen bonds to 2 hydrogen bonds. there is not enough information to make an assessment of the potential change. no impact, there will still be 3 hydrogen bonds formed. there will be no change, adenine will be able to make 3 hydrogen bonds with cytosine. there will be no change, adenine will be able to make 3 hydrogen bonds with guanine. question 5 0.5 pts dehydration synthesis leads to formation of ____. lipids polymers monomers water and monomers water and polymers

Explanation:

1. In DNA, guanine - cytosine pair forms 3 hydrogen bonds and adenine - thymine pair forms 2 hydrogen bonds. When cytosine is replaced with adenine, the number of hydrogen bonds at that position changes from 3 to 2, affecting DNA structure.
2. Dehydration synthesis is a chemical reaction where monomers combine to form polymers, with water as a by - product.

Answer:

1. There will be an impact because the DNA molecule at that position will go from 3 hydrogen bonds to 2 hydrogen bonds.
2. polymers
