QUESTION 9 For this question, refer to the activity and your notes for Part 3. This question references the activity at: http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/basics/transcribel This question requires a bit of critical thinking, and you will also have to look back at the list of Universal Genetic Codes on the webpage. Imagine that base #6 (in the second codon) in the original DNA mutates from a G to an A (this is called a point mutation"). Think about how this would affect the corresponding RNA strand, and look up the i for. How does this point mutation affect the protein's function? O Deleterious/negative effect on protein's function now codes O There is no way to know given the information O No effect on the protein's function OBeneficial/adaptive effect on protei

Explanation / Answer

C) There will be no affect on protein function as the mutation is silent mutaion and in silent mutation there is no change in amino acid and hence no change in protein function.
