Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The severity of DNA mutation that produced in the following changes in mRNA codons has to be compared.
Concept Introduction:
Mutation: Mutation is the error occurred in the base sequence of a DNA which is passed along when
Codons are the sequence of three bases in mRNA that specifies the amino acid to be incorporated into a protein.
Some amino acids and their corresponding mRNA codons are listed below,
Start codon is a codon that specifies the start of RNA translation.
Stop codon is a codon that specifies the end of RNA translation. There are mainly three stop codons UGA, UAA and UAG.
