An mRNA sequence starts off with 5′ – A C C G U G A U G U C C G U C G C A … 3′. Following the “rules” for reading mRNA, what will be the first four amino acids in the protein this mRNA codes for? The primary structure of a polypeptide is synthesized based on the information in the mRNA by . The molecule responsible for matching an amino acid to its codon is A point mutation changes a codon from 5′ UGG 3′ to 5′ UGU 3′. What would be the impact of this mutation on the protein produced from the mRNA?
