Answer:

It would most likely render the protein nonfunctional or mis-functional.

The mutation could result in three outcomes:

  1. Silent mutation, which changes the codon to the same amino acid. (AAA->AAG, both are lysine). But since the problem specified that it has a "slightly different amino acid sequence," we can assume this doesn't happen.
  2. Nonsense mutation, which changes a codon to a stop codon. This would end the chain of amino acids, making the protein potentially nonfunctional.
  3. Missense mutation, which changes a codon to another completely different codon. This can be harmful, as in sickle-cell disease, where just one amino acid, glutamic acid, is changed to valine.

Mercury has a density of 13.5 g/cm^3. What would an object's density have to be for it to sink in mercury?
Lostsunrise [7]
It would have to have a density greater than the density of Mercury. For example, if an abject had a density of 14.5 g/cm^3, it would sink when put in Mercury. Hope this helps! :D
