Answer:

i only have a few of the answers

Step-by-step explanation:

a) What are the bases of mRNA coded for by this section of DNA, before the mutation? Hint: In RNA,

A pair with U. (1 point) CAG.

b) What are the bases of mRNA coded for by this section of DNA, after the mutation? Hint: In RNA, A

pairs with U. (1 point) CAC.

c) What amino acid is coded for by this sequence before the mutation? Hint: Use the codon table. (1 point) Glutamine.

d) What amino acid is coded for by this sequence after the mutation? (1 point) Histidine.
