A particular DNA sequence encodes for MRNA that then encodes for the amino acid glutamate in a protein. A mutation occurs in the DNA that changes the MRNA codon for the glutamate into a different codon. Which change would cause the least disruption to the structure of the protein? Hint: Think about the nature of the various R groups (side-chains) of the amino acids, and how intermolecular forces/interactions govern the way a protein folds into its three-dimensional structure. The codon for the glutamate is changed into a stop codon. O The codon for the glutamate is changed into the codon for aspartate. O The codon for the glutamate is changed into the codon for phenylalanine. The codon for the glutamate is changed into the codon for serine.
