The codon UGU codes for the amino acid Cysteine. The codon UGG codes for the amino acid Tryptophan.

Therefore the mutation will cause the amino acid Cysteine to be replaced with Tryptophan. These amino acids are quite different, and the final shape of the protein could be changed as a result. This could affect the function of the protein.

When a nitrogenous base is inserted or delete how does that affect the amino acid sequence?

The amino acid sequence is shifted, and this kind of mutation is called a frame shift mutation. All of the amino acid sequence after the mutation will be changed, which will cause a change in shape of the protein, which will then probably result in a nonfunctional protein, since the shape of a protein determines its function.

What impact could a point mutation do?

A point mutation could have no impact or it could be lethal. It depends on whether the mutation changes the amino acid sequence of a protein, or if it changes the amino acid at a critical location in the protein.


What amino acid is coded for by this sequence before mutation?

The neutral mutation does not change the amino acid coded for by the codon. A good example is the RNA codon that could be the CCA, CCC or the CCG.

What type of mutation in the DNA leads to a single change in the amino acid sequence of the protein?

Yes, it already has by changing the amino acid you have a mutation. That one amino acid counld be in the active site of an enzyme and that one amino acid being changed could result in loss of function or reduction in function of the enzyme. Sickle cell animea is caused by a single such amino acid substiution.


If a mutation occurred during the formation of a protein that substituted an amino acid with a reactive R group for one that had a nonreactive R group how might this affect the reactivity?

A mutation is a change in DNA, so when u change the DNA this affects the sequence of the amino acid in the primary structure. this later changes the folding of the r groups because u don't have the right unique sequence of amino acid that was encoded by the DNA
