Question
The sequence below is an mRNA strand that is in the cytoplasm ready to translated
by a ribosome. If the gene that codes for this mRNA mutated so that the codon in
the red box became CUG. What effect would it have when the mutated mRNA was
translated?
5' UUU GCC GCU AUG UUU AGC UCU ACU ACU CUC AUG AGU CGC UAG CAU CGA UGA 3
a) There would be a protein with just 4 amino acids made
Ob) The mutated mRNA could not be translated
Oc) There would a protein with just 3 amino acids made
d) There would be a protein with just 5 amino acids made
