Answer:

A single nucleotide changes in CCG which will result in missense mutation can be many possibilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Missense mutations

CCG codes for Proline amino acid

• Mutation in first nucleotide codes for

 UCG specifically encodes Serine

 ACG specifically encodes Threonine

 GCG specifically encodes Alanine

Missense mutation

• Mutation in second nucleotide specify for coding

 CUG specifically encodes Leucine

 CAG specifically encodes Glutamine

 CGG specifically encodes Arginine

• Mutation in Third Nucleotide will not result in missense mutation because any point mutation in third nucleotide of codon will encode same amino acid i.e Proline.
