Chapter 23, Problem 21EQ

Summary Introduction

To review:

The way in which gene $\text{(Asparagine})\text{Asn-141}$, $\text{(Isoleucine})\text{Ile-141}$, and $\text{(Threonine})\text{Thr-141}$ codons are arose. The six possible serine codons that are likely to be the primordial serine codon of globin gene family and the way codon gets changed to produce $\text{Asn-141}$, $\text{Ile-141}$ and $\text{Thr-141}$ codons.

Introduction:

In biological sciences, mutation is the change in the sequence of nucleotides of organism’s genome, extra chromosomal deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), or virus. The mutation is caused due to an error during the replication of DNA or another kind of damages to the DNA, which may lead to an error during other repairs or may lead to an error during DNA replication.
