Hi,

If a point mutation occurs during which  CGA changes to AGA, the mutation will be simply inherited to the offspring and there won't be any harsh effects on the health of individual.

This is because, both AGA and CGA code for same amino acid called Arginine.

We know that mutations posses harmful effects when they change the genetic sequence leading to the incorporation of incorrect amino acid in the organisms and their offspring. But in this case the mutation will not be harmful and will simply be transferred to the offspring and will have no effect on the functioning, fitness or survival of the organism

Hope it helps!:)

Answer:

Nothing will happen since the last codon will still correspond to threonine.

How does messenger rna work inside the cell​
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

A RNA polymerase separates the hydrogen bases of a gene to produce a strand of messenger RNA, which leaves to nucleus. When a ribosome attaches itself to the messenger RNA, it reads the RNA 3 bases at a time to build amino acids which are then folded into proteins.

More explained process:

Note: The description below will explain the process of “protein synthesis”, in which the mRNA (messenger RNA) takes part of.

In the process of protein synthesis, the first step is called “transcription”. In transcription, the mRNA (messenger RNA) unwinds DNA base pairs, and pairs it with the single strand of RNA (A,U,C,&G) . Then the mRNA moves out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm to ribosome. That process is called “translation”. In translation, there is a molecule called tRNA (transfer RNA). There is an amino acid which corresponds to the base pairs of RNA in top, which will create a chain of amino acids. [ For example, the bases are AUC, the corresponding amino acid will be isoleucine (Ile). Next, the tRNA molecules carry the amino acids to mRNA, reads the RNA 3 bases at a time to build an amino acid chain which are then folded into proteins.
