Chapter 9, Problem 1AAATB
Summary Introduction

To write:

Whether there is any similarity between the codons that code for same amino acids.

Introduction:

The mRNA consists of many bases. A collection of three bases that has the capability to code for a particular amino acid is called codon. Codons are present in the mRNA.

Summary Introduction

To write:

The reason that mutation affecting the nucleotide in the third position of a codon is less likely to affect the structure of protein than a mutation that affects the first position of the codon

Introduction:

The group of three bases that codes for amino acids is called a codon. The codon is composed of first, second, and third position. The amino acids join together to form a protein. The mRNA produces by the process of transcription contains codons.
