Question

use the information below to answer the question that follows. original dna strand: gaacattgggtgaac mutated dna strand: gaacactgggtgaac compare the amino acid sequence of the mutated dna strand to the original dna strand and finish the next sentence. the amino acid sequence produced by the mutated dna strand is choose... v as the original sequence. shorter than the same length as longer than drastically different from

Explanation:

Step1: Transcribe DNA to mRNA

Original DNA: GAACATTGGGTGAAC. Transcribe to mRNA: CUUUGUACCCACUUG (using base - pairing rules: A - U, T - A, G - C, C - G).
Mutated DNA: GAACACTGGGTGAAC. Transcribe to mRNA: CUUUGUGACCCACUUG.

Step2: Split mRNA into codons

Original mRNA codons: CUU - UGU - ACC - CAC - UUG.
Mutated mRNA codons: CUU - UGU - GAC - CAC - UUG.

Step3: Use codon chart to find amino acids

Original amino - acids: Leu - Cys - Thr - His - Leu.
Mutated amino - acids: Leu - Cys - Asp - His - Leu.

Answer:

the same length as
