SOLUTION

EXPLANATION:

• DNA was first recognized and identified by the Swiss biologist, Johannes Friedrich Miescher in 1869 during his research on white blood cells.
• DNA: DNA is a double helical long polymer of deoxyribonucleotides. The length of DNA is usually defined as a number of nucleotides (or a pair of nucleotide referred to as base pairs) present in it. This also is the characteristic of an organism.
•  DNA contains a sugar-phosphate backbone, and the nucleotide bases (guanine, cytosine, adenine and thymine).

​

• The coding segment of DNA is called exon. A segment of DNA within a gene that encodes a sequence ultimately translated into a protein product.
• During gene expression, DNA gets translated to mRNA, which contains coding and non-coding nucleotide triplets.
• Non-coding sequences (intron) are removed from RNA by splicing.
• A codon is a sequence of three DNA or RNA nucleotides that corresponds with a specific amino acid or stop signal during protein synthesis.
• Muton is that length of DNA which is capable of undergoing mutation.
