EVOLUTION CONNECTION Most amino acids are coded forby a set of similar codons (see Figure 17.6). Propose at least oneevolutionary explanation to account for this pattern.
Use this mRNA coding sequence as your starting point. This sequence begins with a start codon and ends with a stop codon, so it is only looking at the region of DNA that directly encodes a protein sequence.

The genetic code is thought to have evolved to maximize genetic stability by minimizing the effect on protein function of most substitution muta- tions (single-base changes). We will use the six arginine codons to test this idea. Consider all of the substitutions that could affect all of the six arginine codons. (a) How many total mutations are possible? (b) How many of these mutations are "silent," in the sense that the mutant codon is changed to another Arg codon? (c) How many of these mutations are conservative, in the sense that an Arg codon is changed to a functionally similar Lys codon?arrow_forward
- In this sequence there are two introns and three exons. Exon 1 has 3 amino acids, exon 2 has 4 amino acids and exon 3 has 3 amino acids. Remember start and stop codons! Highlight the introns and number the exons. Show the start codon and stop codon and highlight and number the exons. Remember all introns start with GT and end with AG. 5' - ATG GGG CCC GTT TTC AAT ATG CAG GTC CAT CCG TAC GTA CAG GCC GGA ATT TGA - 3' (a) How many base pairs are in intron 1 and intron 2?arrow_forwardPlease explainarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true?
