How are the sugar phosphate groups bonded?
What do mutations that only occur in the body cells affect?
What would happen if there was a substitution in the 1st/2nd position of the codon?
What could happen if there was a base pair substitution in the 3rd position of the codon?
Are most gene mutations harmful, beneficial, or neutral?
What bond binds the nitrogen bases together?
What is the bridge between DNA and protein synthesis?

The allele expressed in the phenotype of the heterozygote
Group of individuals within a specie which potentially can interbreed and share a common gene pool.
Having 2 identical alleles of a given gene
The palomino color in horses is produced by the interaction between 2 genes. The dominant base color is bay, while the homozygous recessive expression is chestnut. At the 2nd loci, a diluter gene codes for full, partial or no dilution effect.
