Mutations in DNA Mr. Salerno

Double helix

Single strand

Triple helix

Circular DNA

Amino acids are the building blocks that link together to form peptides, which then combine to make proteins.

Proteins are the building blocks that link together to form peptides, which then combine to make amino acids.

Peptides are the building blocks that link together to form amino acids, which then combine to make proteins.

Amino acids and proteins are unrelated; peptides are made from sugars.

Transporting molecules

Repairing muscles

Providing energy directly

Making antibodies

Large subunit

Small subunit

tRNA

Codon

Breaking down food

Speeding up muscle repair

Destroying toxins

Transmitting nerve impulses

It is the opening where the ligand attaches to the protein.

It is the location where peptides are formed.

It is found only in enzymes.

It is essential for protein-ligand interaction.

Deletion

Insertion

Substitution

Translocation

A substitution mutation can occur.

The DNA strand will be destroyed.

Protein synthesis will stop immediately.

The cell will divide uncontrollably.
