Chapter 10, Problem 1AAATB
Summary Introduction

To write:

Whether there is any similarity between the codons that code for same amino acids.

Introduction:

The mRNA consists of many bases. A collection of three bases that has the capability to code for a particular amino acid is called codon. Codons are present in the mRNA.

Summary Introduction

To write:

The reason that mutation affecting the nucleotide in the third position of a codon is less likely to affect the structure of protein than a mutation that affects the first position of the codon

Introduction:

The group of three bases that codes for amino acids is called a codon. The codon is composed of first, second, and third position. The amino acids join together to form a protein. The mRNA produces by the process of transcription contains codons.

Start: End: An amino acid sequence of a protein molecule includes methionine, lysine, serine and glycine. Show each different codon that could result in each of these amino acids. You will have more than one codon for all of them except methionine. Amino Acids All Possible Codons Methionine   Lysine   Serine (Look carefully. There are six possibilities)   Glycine   Question 3 illustrates the redundant nature of the genetic code. Can you think of an advantage of having several codons that all code for the…
