The original codons code for Leucine and Glutamic acid. The mutated codons code for Valine and Glutamine.
<h3>Genetic codes and amino acids</h3>
Each of the genetic codes. otherwise known as codons, translates to an amino acid.
Following the table of genetic codes with their respective amino acids:
- CTC (CUC) codes for Leucine
- GAG codes for Glutamic acid
- GTC (GUC)codes for Valine
- CAG codes for Glutamine
Thus, the glutamic acid in the original codon has been replaced with glutamine in the mutated codon while Leucine has been replaced with Valine.

OPTIONS:
a) Blood delivers calcium and phosphate ions that are needed for building bone extracellular matrix.
b) Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs.
c) Blood carries newly absorbed nutrients and water to the liver.
d) Blood circulates cells and chemicals that carry out immune functions.
e) Blood delivers clotting factors and WBCs that aid in hemostasis when skin is damaged
Answer:
b) Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs.
Explanation:
Options a, c, d, e are all true statements about the contributions of the cardiovascular system to other body systems except option b which states that “Blood carries carbon dioxide to body tissues and removes oxygen for use by other organs”.
Actually, the cardiovascular system works together with the respiratory system to supply oxygen to body tissues as blood is circulated in the body, while carbon dioxide is removed from the body at the lungs. <em>In order words, carbon dioxide is removed, while oxygen is picked up as blood is transported through the capillaries of the lungs.
