Question

what is the monomer of dna called?*nucleotidepolypeptidenitrogen baseamino acidtranscribe the following genetic code: no spaces and use dashes between codons/amino acids!!!tactagcatgagactyour answer

Explanation:

• First Question: DNA is a polymer. Its monomer is the nucleotide. A nucleotide consists of a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen - containing base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). A polypeptide is a polymer of amino acids (related to proteins). A nitrogen base is just one part of a nucleotide. An amino acid is the monomer of proteins.
• Second Question: Transcription is the process of making mRNA from DNA. In transcription, adenine (A) in DNA pairs with uracil (U) in mRNA, thymine (T) in DNA pairs with adenine (A) in mRNA, cytosine (C) in DNA pairs with guanine (G) in mRNA, and guanine (G) in DNA pairs with cytosine (C) in mRNA. The DNA sequence TACTAGCATGAGACT is transcribed as follows:
• TAC → AUG
• TAG → AUC
• CAT → GUA
• GAG → CUC
• ACT → UGA. We separate the codons (groups of three nucleotides) with dashes as per the question's requirement.

Answer:

A. Nucleotide
AUG-AUC-GUA-CUC-UGA
