Observe the following messenger RNA :

Due to a mutation , the guanine nucleotide in the sixth position is replaced by an adenine nucleotide. What will be the correct effect on the sequence of amino acids due to this mutation ?

A

The sequence of amino acids in the mutated protein is exactly the same as the sequence of amino acids in the original protein.

B

Only the second amino acid in the mutated protein will be different while the rest will be same as that of the original protein.

C

All amino acids except the first one will be different in the mutated protein.

D

Second and third amino acids in the mutated protein will be different while the rest be same as that of the original protein.

Read the below Statements about the structure of genetic material and identify the correct ones. I. Adenine and guanine are bases that have a double ring structure , cytosine, thymine and uracil are based with a single ring structure . II. An adenine nucleotide from DNA is the same as an adenine nucleotide from RNA , DNA adenine pairs with uracil and RNA adenine pairs with thymine. III. The base pairing that occurs in a double DNA helix and when RNA is synthesised during transcription follows the rule that a purine pairs with a pyrimidine. IV. The two Polynucleotides on a DNA molecule run in opposite directions so that the double helix formed has two strands that are anti-parallel to each other.
