Question

QUESTION 3 Which of the following types of mutations is MOST likely to alter the encoded protein? A single nucleotide deletion A point mutation in the 1st base of a codon A point mutation in the 3rd base of a codon A point mutation in the 2nd base of a codon QUESTION 4 What is an advantage of a degenerate genetic code? Mutations are more likely to alter proteins, increasing the rate of evolution. Mutations are less likely to alter protein sequence, decreasing the chances that a mutation will have deleterious consequences to the organism. It increases the number of different proteins that can be coded by each gene. It decreases the total number of tRNAs that have to be made.
