Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The amino acid is selected by mRNA codon GAA has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: DNA sequence is always synthesized in
The nucelotide triplet that encodes an amino acids is called codon. Each group of three nucleotides encodes one amino acid. There are 20 amino acid present which are encoded by differnet codon. DNA sequence is always synthesized in
(b)
Interpretation:
The sequence in the original DNA that led to the codon being present in the mRNA has to be predicted.

Interpretation:
If mutation occurs in DNA in which G is substituted for the
