Question

a mutation in a codon will result in ____________. multiple choice a new gene a new lipid a new carbohydrate a new allele

Explanation:

A codon is a sequence of three - nucleotide bases in mRNA that codes for an amino - acid or a stop signal. A mutation in a codon can change the amino - acid sequence of a protein. This change in the DNA sequence at a particular locus can result in a new allele. A gene is a larger segment of DNA, and a single codon mutation doesn't create a new gene. Lipids and carbohydrates are not directly related to codon mutations.

Answer:

D. a new allele
