Question

when DNA mutations occur they can have a variety of effects on an organism if the DNA is TAC CGA ACC TTA create a mRNA strand with a point mutation that would shorten the protein

Answer 1

Answer: AUG GU UGG AAU

Explanation: Since it's a point mutation which only effects single nucleotide; so in CGA codon, the second codon, deletion mutation has been occured while mRna strand is going to be synthesized, this has shortened the length of the resulting protein developed from these codons.

Since RNA contains uracil instead of thymine, so in place of thymine (T), uracil has been placed.
