Zebra mussels are the invasive species that have adaptive features to allow them to invade the new ecosystems. They have floating larva that can be transported along with running water. Also, the adult form of zebra mussels have ability to attach themselves to various substrates such as boats and ship ballasts. The primary factor for introduction of the species in Great Lakes is attachment of the species to the ship ballast that enter the lake.
the sequence of the protein's polypeptide would be altered consequently.
Explanation:
Remembering that genetic code is specific i.e. unambiguous. Translation is strictly codon specific and may be redundant. Any genetic alteration invariably affect the sequence of the resulting polypeptide.
