The following 5'-3' molecule is the beginning of a newly transcribed messenger RNA sequence. Translate the initial mRNA sequence, listing the three-letter amino acid polypeptide, and then translate each of the sequences generated by mutations to this initial sequence (parts b-c). State the kind of mutation that results for each sequence.
5'---CAGUAUGCCAUGGGGUCGAUGAGGCU---3'
a) Translation of original sequence:
b) Translate the initial mRNA sequence, adding a U between the 2 Cs at position 4.
