• Answer:

  a) Methionine, Isoleucine, Glycine, Glycine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Glycine, Glutamine, STOP b) GGA, GGU and GGG all code for Glycine. AUU and AUC both code for Isoleucine c) There is no underline in your question. Reading along the G's left to right: 1) Methionine to Isoleucine - No protein because no start codon - Missense mutation if anywhere other than the start codon, not sure if a start codon mutation has a name. 2) Glycine to Stop Codon - Nonsense mutation 3) Glycine to Valine - Missense Mutation 4) Glycine to Cysteine - Missense Mutation 5) Glycine to Valine - Missense Mutation 6) Leucine to Phenylalanine - Missense Mutation 7) Glycine to Tryptophan - Missense Mutation 8) Glycine to Valine - Missense Mutation 9) Glycine to Glycine (No change) - Silent Mutation 10) STOP to Tyrosine - No certain name here either. I've heard "Read-through mutation" used.
