Question

Use this mRNA coding sequence as your starting point. This sequence begins with a start codon and ends with a stop codon, so it is only looking at the region of DNA that directly encodes a protein sequence.

5’-AUGCACAAAUUAGAGUACCCCCCAGGAAGGUAG-3’

Make the following mutation in this sequence by changing/adding/removing only one nucleotide. Make the mutation easy to see (a different color, circled, something like that)

1) A silent mutation that is also a transition
