Answer:

C) A changed to G in the first position of the codon.

Explanation:

In the translation of DNA,  triplets  or codons of mRNA  (a group of three nucleotides) are read according to a genetic code, to build proteins.

Proteins are composed of amino acids. In the translation process, each codon codes for an particular amino acid according to the  genetic code as illustrated  in the DNA codon table (attached here).  

In this table we can see that if the first position  of any of the codons coding for Threonine ( ACT, ACC, ACA, ACG) is changed for G, Adenine is going to be encoded instead of threonine.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: Option C) blocks oxygen transport in human blood

Explanation:

Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the oxides of carbon formed when fuel is incompletely burned. It can be generated from exhaust pipe of vehicles, electric generators.

When inhaled CO attaches to the hemoglobin portion of the red blood cells, forming a bound complex called CARBOXY-HEMOGLOBIN, that is unable to transport oxygen to the body tissues.

Thus, by this mechanism Carbon monoxide blocks oxygen transport in human blood
