When typing your answer, put 1 space between each letter representing a nitrogenous base.

Pro

When typing your answer, put 1 space between each letter representing a nitrogenous base. Use CAPITAL LETTERS.Example:A A AA U G When writing the amino acid, use only the 3 letter symbol for each amino acid.Example:LysValGly

APPLICATION:====Mutations happening within the genes frequently cause incurable and potentially deadly diseases. These occur due to exposure to harmful chemicals or ionizing radiation. Watch this video to know some diseases caused by a gene mutation.====On the other hand, not all mutations are harmful. Some rare mutations lead to the creation of new traits in an organism that can make it more adapted or suited to live and reproduce in its environment. Mutation is one of the drivers of the evolution of species.

Name : Section: ACTIVITY : GENETIC CODE & MUTATION Objectives: • Transcribe and translate a segment of DNA model. • Identify the types of mutation. Things t o remember: • In transcription of DNA to mRNA, this is the nitrogenous base pairing followed: o A in DNA always pairs with U in mR NA ; T in DNA pairs with A in mRNA o C always pairs with G ; G always pairs with C • Codon is a
