A section of DNA is transcribed to produce a strand of mRNA. The original DNA has the following sequence of nitrogen bases:
ATG GCC CAA TCG TGA
Due to a point mutation, transcription results in the mRNA sequence of:
UAC CGG GUU AGU ACU
Using the codon chart we can conclude that transcription in this case will result in
Responses
A a mutated protein that is potentially harmful.
a mutated protein that is potentially harmful.
B the correct sequence of amino acids in the synthesized protein.the correct sequence of amino acids in the synthesized protein.
C a situation where protein synthesis cannot translate the mRNA.a situation where protein synthesis cannot translate the mRNA.
D the incorrect sequence of amino acids in the synthesized protein.
