Thanks for your feedback!

Using the amino acid codon chart, what will happen to this protein sequence if the mutation shown occurs? Original sequence mRNA: CAG GGA GCA UUA Mutated sequence mRNA: CAG UGA GCA UUA A) The sequence will stop at gln, because UGA is a stop codon. B) The sequence will change from gln-gly-ala-leu to gln-thr-ala-leu. C) The sequence will remain gln-gly-ala-leu, because GGA and UGA both code for gly. D) It cannot be known what will happen, because there is not enough information to know.
