Suppose during transcription of DNA code AAA, a mistake occurs due to which UUG code of mRNA is formed Due to this what change in picking the types of amino acid would occur during synthesis of protein ?

Solution

Genetic codes are the ones that code for the proteins. The specific genetic codes code for a particular amino acid.
When a genetic codon changes the amino acid changes and so the entire polypeptide sequence is changed.
AAA codes for the amino acid lysine. If this is changes to UUG then the amino acid will be leucine and the entire sequence is changed.
