Which amino acid would be coded by original TTG mutated?

If the original codon TTG mutated, it would result in a different amino acid being coded. To determine which amino acid would be coded, we need to refer to the genetic code. Give me a moment to look it up for you.

Final answer:

A mutation in the DNA sequence TTG can result in a different amino acid being coded.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original DNA sequence TTG codes for the amino acid leucine. However, if there is a mutation in the sequence, resulting in a different nucleotide being present in the codon, it may lead to a different amino acid being coded. Without specific information about the mutated nucleotide, it is not possible to determine the exact amino acid that will be coded.
