What kind of mutation is this?

Answer 1

Answer:

What kind of mutation - "simple base substitution" or "point mutation".  

New mRNA strand - CUG CCU  GCU AAU

Does the mutation affect the protein. - yes because one amino acid is different

Explanation:

Answer 2

Here a point mutation occurs in the gene.

What is Point mutation?

A point mutation is said to occur in a genome when a single base pair is added, deleted or changed.

Here due to point mutation only a single base pair has been changed ,thus the amino acid sequence has been changed. This is because due to point mutation in the DNA strand the mRNA produced is also changed so the amino acids coded by the mrna are also changed.

A point mutation exists a genetic mutation where a single nucleotide base exists changed, inserted, or deleted from a DNA or RNA series of an organism's genome. Point mutations have a combination of effects on the downstream protein product—consequences that exist moderately predictable established upon the specifics of the mutation.
