Question

Please help asap I will give medal and fan!









3. Which substitution mutation has the potential to cause more damage?
a) substitution of 3rd N-base to go from AUU to AUC
b) substitution of 3rd N-base to go from AGU to AGC
c) substitution of 3rd N-base to go from AAC to AAA
4. Explain WHY:

Answer 1

hi need help

Answer 2

You need to look at an amino acid table to see what this codes for. Some proteins with different 3rd base pairs will produce the same protein. https://biologywarakwarak.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/amino-acid-table-singlet-code.png
try using this table

Answer 3

AUU to AUC will still code for the same protein.

Answer 4

AGU to AGC will also code for the same protein

Answer 5

The only one that is different is going from AAC to AAA. This will code for a different protein and therefore change the function of the overall code

Answer 6

Does this make sense?

Answer 7

A different protein will perform a different function.

Answer 8

so the answer is c

Answer 9

Yep

Answer 10

Thank you!

Answer 11

No problem!
