Question
Karenca was studying her genetics notes the night before the test. She was getting a little
turned around with the differences between DNA and RNA. She started working a problem
that gave a segment of original DNA as follows:
ТА
Then, the problem said that original DNA was mutated to become:
TAG
Use the codon table to help Karenca determine whether or not this mutation will cause a
change in the phenotype (what the organism looks like) of the organism. *
Even though the DNA sequence changed, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in
phenotype will occur.
Yes, the phenotype of the organism would change because a new amino acid will be coded for.
Yes, the phenotype of the organism would change because any change in the DNA sequence will cause a
change in phenotype.
It is impossible to determine if a change in phenotype will occur using only the DNA sequence.
