As the ribosome reads each codon of mRNA, it directs tRNA to bring the specified amino acid into the ribosome. Each tRNA molecule carries<span> just one kind of amino acid. In addition, each tRNA molecule has </span>three unpaired bases<span>, </span>collectively called the anticodon<span>—which is complementary to one mRNA codon.</span>
1) Mutations are caused by changes in nucleotide bases. these altered base formed different amino acid depending upon nucleotide base sequence that code specific amino acid. ... even though some mutations, can have a more effect on amino acid coding, which can affect what kind of proteins are produced.

Answer:
6 in total; 3 viable and 3 non-viable
Explanation:
Robertsonian translocation is one of the types of structural alteration in chromosomes, in other words, a rearrangement between chromosomes, which can occur between five pairs of acrocentric chromosomes (chromosomes with the centromere close to the end of one of the "arms"): 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22.
An individual who has Robertson's translocation between chromosomes 14 and 21 generally has only 45 chromosomes.
In addition, a carrier of this type of translocation can theoretically produce 6 types of gametes, however 3 of them are not viable.
As for the three remaining gametes: One is normal, and among the other two, one is balanced and the last is unbalanced.
So, theoretically, when combining a normal gamete, the probability of a child with down syndrome being born through these conditions is 1/3 (considering that the probability of producing a certain type of gamete is equal for the three types).
