Answer:

This is the basis for Chargaff's rule; because of their complementarity, there is as much adenine as thymine in a DNA molecule and as much guanine as cytosine. Adenine and thymine are connected by two hydrogen bonds, and cytosine and guanine are connected by three hydrogen bonds

During transcription the DNA base sequence is transcribed into a complementary mRNA sequence. A codon table like the one shown b

DIA [1.3K]

Answer: Option B) No, even though the DNA sequence changed, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur.

Explanation:

Since the triplet codon ACG codes for the amino acid threonine, so also ACA codes for threonine, the single base change of Guanine (in ACG) to Adenine (ACA) is insignificant due to the degeneracy of the genetic code.

Thus, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur
