Chapter 28, Problem 20P

Figure 28.41 gives some examples of recombination in IgG codons 95 and 96, as specified by the V k and J k genes. List the codon possibilities and the amino acids encoded if recombination occurred in codon 97. Which of these possibilities is less desirable?

Consider the tryptophan codon 5′ - UGG - 3′ in the standard genetic code . Can a single base change in this codon create a synonymous mutation? Can a single base change in this codon create a nonsense codon?
A normal hemoglobin protein has a glutamic acid at position 6; in sickle-cell hemoglobin, this glutamic acid has been replaced by a valine. List all the possible mRNA codons that could be present for each type of hemoglobin. Can a single base change result in a change from Glu to Val in hemoglobin?
