There is a mutation in the gene that encodes tRNAlys. The mutation does not affect the anticodon in tRNAlys but results in a tRNAlys that is recognized and charged by aminoacyl-tRNAser synthetase. In an organism homozygous for this mutation, how would the following mRNA be translated?

In the protein sequences, instead of having a Lysine, there would be a Serine.
