A short segment of an mRNA molecule is shown below. The polypeptide it codes for is also shown:
5'-AUGGUGCUGAAG:methionine-valine-leucine-lysine
Assume that a mutation in the DNA occurs so that the fourth base (counting from the 5' end) of the messenger RNA now reads A rather than G. What sequence of amino acids will the mRNA now code for? (You do not need a copy of the genetic code to answer the question.)
◦ methionine-leucine-leucine-lysine
◦ methionine-lysine-leucine-lysine
◦ methionine-methionine-leucine-lysine
◦ methionine-valine-leucine-lysine
◦ methionine-valine-methionine-lysine

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
