Question
Chapter 12, Problem 59RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The fact that proteins are known to be translated by an alternate start codon is to be discussed.
Concept Introduction:
In biology, silent mutation is the type of mutation that changes the DNA, but not the amino acids.
Codons are a set of three adjacent

- REFLECT AND APPLY In prokaryotic protein synthesis, N-formylmethionine (fmet) is the first amino acid incorporated, whereas (normal) methionine is incorporated in eukaryotes. The same codon (AUG) serves both.

If you could type with the accuracy with which the prokaryote E. coli incorporates, proofreads, and repairs bases in replication (about one uncorrected error in 109to1010 bases), how many such books would you have to type before an uncorrected error is permitted?
