Codons
The volume of a cone is base×height÷3base×height÷3=144×π×10÷3base×height÷3=1440π÷3
Because the formula is the same: volume = 1/3base areaheight
No (contrary to previous answer to this question) single base pair mutations, which swap out 1 base for another, say from an A to a G can be a "silent mutation" This means that the 3base "codon" that codes for an amino acid will still code for the same AA. AA's have about 3 different codons that will code for it, usually with the difference being in the last base pair. So for examples lets say AAC and AAT both code for Amino acid X, and the mutation causes the C in sequence AAC to change to a T it becomes AAT, and will still code for amino acid X.... no change in protein structure or function.
