A mutation has occurred during DNA replication while the cell was preparing to divide. As a result of this, the codon ACU of mRNA has now become ACC. Interestingly, there is no change to the protein being made. Why not? This is a silent mutation. The original amino acid isoleucine was changed to leucine, but they are the same variation of amino acid so no change to the protein. The mutation was fixed, and even though the codon is now ACC the correct amino acid is put into place for the normal protein. This is not a mutation that causes a big change, so there is no change to the protein being made.

This is a silent mutation

GENETIC LIFE CYCLE - APUSAR (CORRECT ORDER )

1. Absorption:The virus attaches to its host cell by specific binding of its spikes to cell receptors. 2.Penetration: The virus is engulfed into a vesicle. 3.Uncoating: The viral envelope is shed thereby freeing the viral RNA into the cell cytoplasm. 4.Synthesis (Replication and Protein Production): Under the control of viral genes, the cell synthesizes the basic components of new viruses: RNA molecules, capsomers, spikes. 5.Assembly: Viral spike proteins are inserted into the cell membrane for the viral envelope; nucleocapsid is formed from RNA and capsomers. 6.Release: Envelope viruses bud off of the membrane, carrying away an envelope with the spikes. This complete virus or virion is ready to infect another cell.

Chromosome
