The template strand of a gene contains this sequence: 3'-TAC TAG GCT AGT TGA-5'. A mutation occurs that changes the gene sequence to 3'-TAC TAG ACT AGT TGA-5'. How does this mutation affect the resulting amino acid sequence

Respuesta :

GCT is CGA in mRNA. the change to ACT makes the mRNA UGA, which would cause a premature stop codon.

Answer:

The mutation introduces a stop codon.
