Question

Which Two Types Of Biomolecules Are Directly Affected By A Mutation?

Answer 1

Proteins and nucleic acids

1. The types of biomolecules which are directly affected by mutation are proteins and nucleic acids.
2. Nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) store genetic codes – sequences of nucleotides that determine the amino acid sequences of proteins.
3. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are two major types of nucleic acids.
4. DNA and RNA are responsible for the inheritance and transmission of specific characteristics from one generation to the other.
5. There are prominently two types of nucleic acids known to us.
6. Proteins are major structural elements of cells, taking part in important life processes (as transporters, catalysts, form antibodies and hormones, impact gene activity).
