45 POINTS!!!!! How are the amino acids formed from the codons in Mutation #1 different from those formed by the original codon pattern?​

1) Mutations are caused by changes in nucleotide bases. these altered base formed different amino acid depending upon nucleotide base sequence that code specific amino acid. ... even though some mutations, can have a more effect on amino acid coding, which can affect what kind of proteins are produced.

your welcome :)

The nucleotide triplet that encodes an amino acid is called a codon.

  • Each group of three nucleotides encodes one amino acid. Since there are 64 combinations of 4 nucleotides taken three at a time and only 20 amino acids, the code is degenerate (more than one codon per amino acid, in most cases).
  • Multiple codons can code for the same amino acid. Genetic code and codon are used in the storing of genetic information within the genetic material.
  • The main difference between genetic code and codon is that genetic code is the set of rules used to store the genetic information within DNA whereas codon is a nucleotide triplet, which represents a specific protein

Main Difference – Genetic Code vs Codon

The genetic code is made up of codons. Genes carry specific information to produce a functional protein. During transcription, the genetic information of a gene is copied to messenger RNA (mRNA). The information in the mRNA is decoded during translation at the cytoplasm by ribosomes to make a functional protein. Each amino acid in the protein is represented by a specific codon in the sequence of the gene.

Mutations

Mutations are errors in codons caused by changes in nucleotide bases. Some mutations may not have much effect. For example, if the codon GAA becomes the codon GAG because the genetic code is degenerate, the codon will still code for the amino acid glutamate.
