and each codon is made up of three nucleotide bases. How might an extra single base INSERTION into the second codon of a coding sequence of a gene affect the amino acid sequence of the protein encoded by the gene? (Hint: You may want to write out a made-up example of an insertion like the one described above) O The entire amino acid sequence would shift and be changed. O A single amino acid would change only. O The mutation may have no effect on the amino acid sequence. O A single extra amino acid would be present in the protein.

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
