The chain above represents three codons. Which of the following changes would be expected in the amino acid chain if the mutation shown above occurred?
A.
The amino acid sequence would remain unchanged.
B.
The amino acid sequence would be shorter than expected.
C.
The identities of more than one amino acid would change.
D.
The identity of one amino acid would change.

Respuesta :

Answer:

its d, the amino acid is only changing one codon.

Explanation:

Oseni

If the mutation occurs as shown in the illustration, the identity of one amino acid would change.

From a close examination of the mutated sequence, one of the nucleotide bases has been substituted. More specifically, the second base on the first codon in the sequence has been replaced with C instead of G.

The original codon, AGA, specifies for arginine according to the codon chart.  Relacing the G with C will change the amino acid from arginine to threonine.
