Question

PLEASE HELP!!!

5. How could one change in a DNA nucleotide alter the formation of the translated protein? (In other words, what could happen to the finished protein if you change just one base letter in the entire code of DNA, and instead of it being ACTGCCAGCCTa it was changed to ACTGCCAGCCTg?

Answer 1

DNA codes for proteins by the sequence of nucleotides in the DNA. Each set of 3 nucleotides codes for a specific amino acid. Sometimes, a change in a nucleotide does NOT change the amino acid (and therefore, the protein) because some amino acids have more than one set of 3 nucleotides that code for them
