During transcription the DNA base sequence is transcribed into a complimentary mRNA sequence. A codon table like the one shown below lists the amino acids coded for by particular triads of mRNA bases. A segment of DNA has undergone a mutation in which one nucleotide has been changed. The original sequence was ACG and the new sequence is ACA. Use the codon table to determine whether or not this mutation will cause a change in the phenotype of the organism.
yes, the phenotype of the organism would change because a new amino acid will be coded
for
yes, the phenotype of the organism would change because any change in the DNA
sequence will cause a change in phenotype.
Even though the DNA sequence changed, the sequence still codes for the
same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur
It is impossible to determine if a change in phenotype will occur using only the
DNA sequence.
