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.

How many amino acids would this protein have if a mutation occurred and the 7th dna base pair of the dna strand was changed from a-t to t-a?
There would be no change in no. of amino acids as this mutation is miscense mutation, no . of amino acids changes with frame shift mutations .
Which type of mutation will probably have a larger effect A point mutation or a frameshift?
Both types of mutation have the potential to cause a large effect.In general, a frameshift mutation is more likely to cause a large effect. This is because it shifts the 'reading frame' - so that all of the subsequent codons (groupings of 3 bases that are read to determine which amino acid will be added) will be changed.A point mutation is when a single base is replaced. This can either result in the same amino acid being added to the protein being synthesised (a silent mutation), a different amino acid being added (a missense mutation) or in a STOP codon (a nonsense mutation).If a point mutation causes a premature STOP codon - this is quite likely to have a large effect on the protein.
What would be the Anticodon that would join with the codon AUG?
3' UAC 5'
What is the main question to ask when considering the effect of a mutation?
The main question would be " how does it affect the organisms chances for survival?"
Would protein be the same if a new base was inserted into the strand of DNA?
No. At the point of insertion the sequence would be completely changed. This is called a frameshift mutation.
What anticodon pairs with the codon gau?
The anticodon would be CUA
What is the anticodon for cgc?
The matching anticodon for GCA would be CGU.
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.
Would an anticodon tRNA contain a thymine nucleotide?
It can. If the codon has an "A," then its anticodon must have a "T."
What is the anticodon for CGA?
A pairs with T so the anticodon would be TTT
What would happen if UV exposure caused a point mutation where a single base was changed within your DNA sequence?
It would depend upon type and location of point mutation .
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.
What would the anticodon AAA be complimentary to?
UUU

There would be no change in no. of amino acids as this mutation is miscense mutation, no . of amino acids changes with frame shift mutations .
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.
How would a protein be changed if a mutation caused a base to be added?
A mutation in which an extra nitrogen base is added is called a frameshift mutation. The rest of the sequence after the mutation will code for different amino acids, which will result in the alteration of the protein. Frameshift mutations cause severe genetic disorders.
