If the rna molecule in a human has the nucleotide sequence of guu, this would indicate that the amino acid valine would be needed to make the protein. how would this change if this process was occurring in a mushroom?

a.there would be no change; guu always codes for valine
b.valine is not an amino acid found in any organism besides humans
c.mushrooms do not need to make proteins so this process would not occur
d.in a mushroom, guu would actually code for an amino acid not found on the chart

Answer:

A. There would be no change; GUU always codes for "valine"

Step-by-step explanation:

Genetic codes are "universal" in nature which means that a particular genetic code specifies same amino acid in all type of organisms. If the RNA molecule in a human has the nucleotide sequence of GUU, this would indicate that the amino acid valine would be needed to make the protein. The genetic code "GUU" code for "valine" in mushrooms also.
