The genetic code is a series of three bases in a row called a
codon. Each codon represents and amino acid. For example, the DNA
strand AAA-TCT would code for the amino acids lys-ser. You'll need
a codon chart to find codons, which can be found online. Hope this

Well consider the substitution of one hydrophillic amino acid
for another hydrophillic amino acid. This type of mutation changes
nothing but a molecular marker.

DNA polymerase checks DNA for errors. DNA polymerase checks DNA for errors by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the paired nitrogen bases in the DNA molecule. This causes the molecule to separate into two individual strands.
