Much important confirmatory evidence on the genetic code has come from assessing changes in the amino acid sequence of mutant pr

oteins after a single base has been changed in the gene that encodes the protein. Which of the listed amino acid replacements would be consistent with the genetic code if the replacements were caused by a single base change? Which cannot be the result of a single-base mutation? Why?

Leucine: UUA UUG

Only one base change

c) Alanine:  GCU  GCC  GCC GCG

   Thr:         ACU ACC ACA ACG

How many strands of mRNA are transcribed from the two “unzipped” strands of DNA?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:Since DNA is double-stranded, two different RNA molecules could in principle be transcribed from any gene, using each of the two DNA strands as a template.

Explanation:During transcription, the DNA of a gene serves as a template for complementary base-pairing, and an enzyme called RNA polymerase II catalyzes the formation of a pre-mRNA molecule, which is then processed to form mature mRNA
