Generally, mutations result in reduced protein function or no protein function. A mutation with reduced function is called a leaky mutation because some of the wild-type function “leaks” through into the phenotype. A mutation that results in no protein function is called a null mutation
Answer:
Instead of arginine codon, proline condon would be coded.
Explanation:
GCA encodes codes for glycine while on the other hand codon to GGU, GGC, or GGG encodes for glycine.
This substitution will lead to generation of complementary code “Proline” in the complementary mRNA or DNA strand.
The codon CCT, CCC, CCA, CCG encodes for proline. If this mutation would not have occurred then Arginine would have been encoded in the complementary codon with base structure of CGT, CGC, CGA, CGG
Natural selection leads to evolution because the strongest survive and pass on their genes
All cells in the body have the same DNA and the same genes. In organs & tissues the expression changes.
