A change in the sequence of nucleotides in DNA would be reflected in the mRNA molecule that transcribes it. The mRNA would contain the same change as the DNA molecule.

What do DNA mutations directly affect?
It will affect protein synthesis. mRNA uses DNA (a gene) as a template and mRNA is a template to join amino acids together. If the DNA sequence (gene) is changed, the mRNA will be changed, and the polypeptides will be changed - usually with harmful consequences. Proteins produce phenotypes in organisms, so a mutation in DNA causes abnormalities.
What are the bases of mRNA coded for by this section of DNA before the mutation?
CAG
If a nucleotide is added or removed from a DNA molecule and mrna is created the codons after the mutation will not be read correctly this is a?
Mutation
Which do you suppose would be more harmful A mutation that changed the nucleotide sequence of an mRNA molecule or a mutation that changed the nucleotide sequence of a DNA molecule?
A mutation in a DNA nucleotide sequence would be more harmful than a mutation in a mRNA nucleotide sequence because it could cause the synthesis of multiple nonfunctional proteins in comparison to a mutation in a mRNA nucleotide sequence that would be less harmful because it would result in a few nonfunctional proteins.
What are the changes in DNA sequences that affect genetic information known as?
Mutation
How can mutation affect the mRNA?
Mutations not only change the DNA, but a change to the DNA will change the mRNA. This explains why a mutation in one generation can be passed on to the next generation.

a change in the mRNA makes a mutation of the DNA

What does reverse transcriptase use from DNA?
Reverse transcriptase use mRNA to form DNA. mRNA
What can occur as a result of a change in the sequence of nucleotides in a strand of DNA?
The addition or deletion of a nucleotide can lead to a Frameshift mutation. The Frameshift mutation causes a "shift" in the reading frame of the codons in the mRNA. This may lead to the change in the amino acid sequence at protein translation.
How is mRNA differint from DNA?
The mRNA comes into the DNA when the DNA unzips. Then the mRNA attaches to one side of the DNA, copies it down, and leaves. Remember, AT CG
Do spider monkeys have a mutation?
I believe that spider monkeys have mutations, but it does not affect them.
