Answer:
It would change the nucleotide sequence of the transcribed mRNA
Explanation:
During the process of transcription, a DNA template is used to synthesize a mRNA molecule. The nucleotides in the DNA molecule undergo a complementary base pairing to form the nucleotides on the mRNA. This means that the order of sequence on the DNA determines the order of sequence on the mRNA.
In a case where the nucleotide sequence of a DNA segment changes in the process of MUTATION, the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA strand will also change. For example, if sequence: ATT on the DNA produces UAA on the mRNA, a change to AAT on the DNA will cause the mRNA sequence to change to UUA.
A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides in DNA or RNA that codes for either a particular amino acid or tells the cellular machinery to start or stop using the code. It isn't located anywhere specific.
