A codon is a sequence of three bases found on the messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule which is translated to produce an amino acid. Each amino acid is coded by one or more specific codons. If the codon is changed through a mutation, the amino acid produced may be different. However, in this case, the other codons that produce Leucine are:

UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA and CUG

So the code CUU could mutate to CUC, CUA or CUG and leucine would still be produced.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The correct answer would be A. crust.

The crust is the outermost layer of the earth which is composed of different types of rocks such as sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks.

It is completely solid and can be broadly classified into two types: continental crust and oceanic crust.

The thickness of the oceanic crust is about 5 km to 10 km. It is primarily composed of basalt, gabbro, and diabase.

The thickness of the continental crust is around 30 km to 50 km.  

The crust forms lithosphere along with hard and upper mantle.
