a. A base substitution changes a codon for an enzyme from GCC to GCA. Why is there no change in the amino acid order in the protein?

Hello everyone. Today, we have a fine problem during a genetic experiment, a single base mutation alters a coon in a vital gene from Uau to U AC. What is the impact of this mutation on immuno sequence of the produced protein? So we will determine the amino acid for the original coon and a mutated conon. So for the original code on, we have UAU, which codes for tyrosine were the mutated code on which is U AC. We also have Taraz. Thus, we can conclude that the mutation does not change the amino acid sequence of the resulting protein. So we can say that the amino acid sequence is unaffected. And with that, we have solved the problem overall, I hope this helped. And until next time.
