DNA is "read" from 3' to 5' end DNA and RNA are both written from 5' to 3' end Strands of nucleic acids run "anti-parallel" to each other
5' and 3' ends of DNA and RNA

Learning Objectives:
6. Slide

A point mutation occurs when a single nucleotide base in the genetic code is changed during DNA replication or transcription; results from substitution mutations Silent: a nucleotide changes, but the amino acid remains the same Missense: a nucleotide changes and so does the amino acid Nonsense: a nucleotide change results in a premature stop codon
