What type of mutation is this during DNA replication a thymine base is removed from the DNA?
A frameshift mutation
Why does 5-bromouracil cause mutation?
5-bromouracil is a base analoge or antimetabolite. It substitutes thymine residue in DNA. After one cycle of replication it introduce other base and in this way it makes a point mutation.
What base is found DNA but not in RNA?
Thymine
What does a thymine do?
Thymine is an nitrogen base in our DNA. Thymine pairs up with the other nitrogen base Adenine. This creates one base pair. Thymine and the other base does not have a function. It is the combinations of bases that encode genetic information. The other bases pairs are Guanine and Cytosine and these two nitrogen bases are also one base pair. Thymine and Adenine are always paired up and shown as AT or TA. Similar to Guanine and Cytosine, they are always paired up and shown as CG or GC . If these base pairs shows up as AG or TC for example, then it'll be a mutation.
What is the complimentary base for Adenine?
Thymine...
What base is always paired with thymine?
Thymine
What nitrogen base is replaced with uracil in RNA?
Thymine
What is the base that joins adenine?
adenine is one of the 4 base pairs in a dna structure ,A and T(thymine), and C and G, simple !
What is thymine in DNA?
Thymine is a nitrogenous base. It pairs with Adenine.
What forms a base pair with thymine?
Adenine pairs with thymine.
In DNA which is harder to break the adenine-thymine base pair or the guanine-cytosice base pair Why?
thymine
The base thymine is replaced by a structurally similar base called what?
It's uracil, which replaces thymine in RNA.
