The text describes a type of point mutation in genetics known as a substitution mutation. This occurs when a codon changes from "CCC" (which codes for proline) to "CGC" (which codes for arginine).Below this explanation, there is a genetic code chart which is used to identify the amino acid encoded by a specific codon. Here’s how the chart is structured:- **Columns and Rows:** - The chart is organized into a grid. The first column and the first row represent the possible nucleotides (U, C, A, and G) at each position in a triplet codon sequence. - The "1st base in codon" column on the left lists the first nucleotide of the codon. - The "2nd base in codon" row across the top lists the second nucleotide. - The "3rd base in codon" column on the right lists the third nucleotide.- **Amino Acids:** - Each box within the grid corresponds to a specific amino acid or a stop signal, determined by the combination of the three bases.- **Examples:** - UUU and UUC encode Phenylalanine (Phe). - UAA and UAG are stop codons, indicated by the word "STOP" in red.This chart is a tool to understand how sequences of nucleotides are translated into proteins during the process of translation in cellular biology.
