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.

<u>Some of the minerals necessary for the formation of chlorophyll include magnesium, nitrogen, and iron</u>. It thus means that the humus supplied to the soil of group 1 plant has the necessary minerals to synthesize chlorophyll while the soil of group 2 plants is deficient in some or all the minerals required for chlorophyll synthesis.
