Proteins — practice question

The table lists the DNA triplet codes for some amino acids. The base sequence on the DNA template strand that codes for part of a polypeptide is given below. $\text{CCA TTC ACG GCG TTA GCA}$ During DNA replication, two mutations take place in this sequence. Which mutated DNA would produce a polypeptide with one amino acid different?

  • A$\text{CCA ATC ACG GCG TTG GCA}$
  • B$\text{CCA TTC ACA GCA TTA GCA}$
  • C$\text{CCA TTC ACG CCG TTA GCC}$
  • D$\text{CCT TTC ACG GCG TTA GCC}$
