Sometimes a mistake occurs in the translation of an mRNA strand. Suppose that the reading of the mRNA strand U-A-C-G-G-G-C-G-A-G-A-A-G-C-U-G-C-U-A-U-U began, by mistake, at the second nucleotide instead of the first. Write the sequence of amino acids that would be formed from N-terminus to C-terminus.

Consider the following segment of mRNA produced by the normal order of DNA nucleotides: ACA UCA CGG GUA a. What is the amino acid order produced from this mRNA? b. What is the amino acid order if a point mutation changes UCA to ACA? c. What is the amine acid order if a point mutation changes CGG to GGG? What happens to protein synthesis if a point mutation changes UCA to UAA? e. What is the amino acid order if an insertion mutation adds a $\mathrm{G}$ to the beginning of the mRNA segment? f. What is the amino acid order if a deletion mutation removes the $A$ at the beginning of the mRNA segment?
