In a given DNA segment ATACC AGG ACC CCA ACA the first base gets mutated. The affect of this on coding by this DNA segment will result in

A

Complete change in the type as well as sequence of amino acids

B

Change in the first amino acid only

C

No change in the sequence

D

One amino acid less in the protein

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Change in single nucleotide sequence cause change in one amino acid coded by it and mutation in more than three base pair sequence result in change in whole reading frame
