Can you see how the environment influences the expression of a trait?
4. What is different about a gene that creates albino color?
5. Describe the variation in the appearance among individuals in a

Mutations
A mutation is a change in the sequence of nucleotides in the gene
(DNA). A gene can be mutated (changed) by radiation, chemicals in the
environment, or other spontaneous events that are surprisingly common
on this planet.
1. Which amino acid is supposed to be lined up at codon 6?
(Hint: Refer to the table in Exercise #2.)
Glutamic Acid
GAA

Codon 6
2. What would happen if a mutation in DNA changed codon 6 in the
mRNA to GUA? (This one nucleotide substitution creates sickle-cell
anemia.) It would furn into valine
3. How does a mutation change the events at the ribosome?
