Dna Mutation Effect 428400
1. **Stating the problem:** We are given DNA codons for amino acids and some mutations. We need to determine which mutations change the amino acid sequence of a protein.
2. **Understanding codons and mutations:** Each codon (a sequence of three DNA bases) codes for a specific amino acid. A mutation changes one codon to another. If the new codon codes for a different amino acid, the mutation changes the amino acid sequence (a nonsynonymous mutation). If it codes for the same amino acid, the mutation is silent (synonymous).
3. **Given codons and amino acids:**
- Ala: CGA, CGG, CGC
- Arg: GCA, GCG, GCT
- His: GTA, GTG
- Iso: TAA, TAG, TAT
- Leu: AAT, AAC, GAA
- Met (start codon): TAC
- Thr: TGA, TGG, TGT
- Tyr: ATA, ATG
4. **Analyze each mutation:**
- Mutation 1: AAT mutated to GAA
- AAT codes for Leu
- GAA codes for Leu
- No change in amino acid
- Mutation 2: GTA mutated to GTG
- GTA codes for His
- GTG codes for His
- No change in amino acid
- Mutation 3: TAA mutated to AAT
- TAA codes for Iso
- AAT codes for Leu
- Change in amino acid
- Mutation 4: ATA mutated to ATG
- ATA codes for Tyr
- ATG codes for Tyr
- No change in amino acid
5. **Conclusion:** Only the mutation from TAA to AAT changes the amino acid sequence of the protein.
**Final answer:** The mutation TAA to AAT changes the amino acid sequence.
