Answer:

AUG GCU GGG AGG AAU

Step-by-step explanation:

A point mutation that would not affect the protein is one that has the same mRNA codon. The answer choices indicate that the third part is affected. The normal mRNA would be GGC, which if you look at the table, is gly. The other sequences that match are GGU, GGC, GGA, and GGG. The only answer choice that matches is the third one, with GGG.
