Constituents Of DNA: Purine or long bases: Adenine (A) and Guanine (G). Pyrimidine or short bases: Thymine (T) and Cytosine (C). Phosphoric acid (P). Deoxyribose (D)/(S).
Each half of every DNA is called nucleotide. Mutation of DNA The sequence of nucleotides of a gene is modified due to external causes such as the exposure to x-rays or radiation of any sort, and simply by nature.
Mutation may not affect an individual's life, however, it is hereditary and will affect ones children. Types of Mutation: Substitution Deletion Insertion Inversion Translocation BONUS: 1. DNAse enzyme destroys DNA.
2. RNAse enzyme destroys RNA.
3. Methyl green dyes DNA green.
4. Pyro nine dyes RNA pink.
The above materials are used to detect the presence of DNA and RNA inside the cell.
