What would be the effect of a mutation that changed the c of the anticodon to a g?

The effect of the mutation is; there would be another amino acid that may form due to the change in sequence of the anticodon. change in the sequence of anticodon may result to different amino acid that may form.


What type of mutation is a point mutation?

A point mutation is when 1 base pair is swapped out for another one... so instead of an A you might find a C... or T... or G. Also an insertion or deletion of a base pair A mutation of a single point :)


What will happen if there was a change in the base pair sequence?

Changing a base pair on a human chromosome (or any organism's chromosome) can range from no effect to catastrophic. The changing of a base pair -- a mutation -- can either result in a nonsense mutation, a missense mutation, or a silent mutation.A nonsense mutation changes a codon upstream of the normal stop codon into a stop codon, resulting in a truncated protein. Such proteins are non-functional and usually result in a non-viable offspring although some can survive (with serious genetic disorders).A missense mutation is just like a nonsense mutation, except the codon isn't changed into a stop codon and the protein does not terminate early. The only difference between the normal protein and the affected protein is that the affected protein will have one amino acid along the polypeptide chain that is different. The affects of such a change can change the shape of the protein entirely, seen with sickle-cell anemia.A silent mutation has no effect on the protein produced. There are only 20 amino acids, but 43 variations of four bases arranged three at a time (in other words, there are 64 different codons possible). Accordingly, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. For example, both UAU and UAC code for the amino acid tyrosine. Imagine a point mutation replaced the U in UAU with a C making it UAC. Either way, the amino acid that will be used will be tyrosine, in no way changing the structure of the protein. For that reason, these mutations are "silent" or having no effect.


What is the most common type of mutation?

A point mutation (transition) that changes A-G or C-T. 2/3 of SNPs are transitions.


What enzymes are responsible for mutation?

An example for this is, cytidine deaminases (AID and APOBEC proteins), they can convert C in to U, there by make G--A mutation in double stranded DNA.

What is the anticodon for CGA?

A pairs with T so the anticodon would be TTT


What is the anticodon for cgc?

The matching anticodon for GCA would be CGU.


How would the protein change if a mutation caused a base to be added?

please chose one of the choices below 1) the mrna will be changed from U-A-C tp U-A-G 2)the trna will be changed from U-A-C to T-A-C 3) the mrna will be changed from T-U-C to T-U-G 4) The trna willbe changed from C-A-U to C-A-C choice one of them 1)


What is the tRNA anticodon for T-A-C?

The tRNA anticodon for TAC would be AUG. However, tRNA does not transcribe DNA and would not come in contact with the nitrogen base thymine. A better question would be what is the tRNA anticodon for the mRNA codon UAC.


AAC would bind with what anticodon?

UUGCodon-AnticodonA - UT - AC - GG - C


A codon of CUA on mRNA will have the corresponding anticodon?

the corresponding anticodon will be GAT because the C transfers to G, the U transfers to A and the A transfers to T----- DR. Mohamed AK-47


If the dNA sequence Tgagccatga is change to tgagcacatga what kind of mutation has occurred?

The sequence TGA-GCC-ATG-A is changed in 2 places to become TGA-GCA-CAT-GA.When one base is changed, it is called a point mutation.In this case, a GCC in the DNA has been changed to a GCA. This would mean the mRNA codon (coded for by this DNA) would change from CGG to CGU.Both of these codons code for the same amino acid - Arginine. Therefore this type of point mutation is known as a silent mutation.The extra C that appears would be called an addition mutation, which is a type of frameshift mutation.

What is the major source of new alleles in natural populations?

either new organisms entered the population from an external source, or there were mutations


What is the trna molecule that will be produced for a t t c g a c c t a c g?

The anticodon of a tRNA molecule has only three nitrogen bases. The anticodon is complementary to a codon of mRNA at the ribosome. The tRNA molecule carries a specific amino acid from the cytoplasm to its complementary mRNA codon, where it will be incorporated into the new protein being made.


During translation the type of amino acid that is added to the growing polypeptide depends on what?

D. codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA to which the amino acid is attached. __________ On my packet it says answer C. Codon on the mRNA and the anticodon on the tRNA but it's all the same thing XD
