Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Original Codon and Its Amino Acid

The original mRNA sequence is CCG. Using the codon chart, we find that CCG codes for the amino acid Proline (Pro).

Step 2: Determine the Amino Acids for Each Option
  • CCU: Codes for Proline (Pro)
  • CGG: Codes for Arginine (Arg)
  • CCA: Codes for Proline (Pro)
  • CCC: Codes for Proline (Pro)
Step 3: Identify the Missense Mutation

A missense mutation results in a different amino acid. Among the options, only CGG (Arginine) codes for a different amino acid than Proline.

Final Answer

B. CGG

Question 5 (1 point) A college professor is curious if the location of a seat in class affects grades in the class. They are teaching in a lecture hall with 240 students. The lecture hall has 10 rows, so they split the rows into 5 sections - Rows 1-2, Rows 3-4, Rows 5-6, Rows 7-8, and Rows 9-10. At the end of the course, they determine the top 25% of grades in the class, and if the location of the seat makes no difference, they would expect that these top 25% of students would be equally dispersed throughout the classroom. Their observations are recorded below. Run a Goodness of Fit test to determine whether or not location has an impact on the grade. Let α=0.05. After running a Goodness of Fit test, does the professor have evidence to conclude that location in the classroom has an impact on final grade and what is the p -value?
