2. Sickle Cell disease can result from a single mutation in

2. Sickle Cell disease can result from a single mutation in the above DNA sequence. The underlined thymine above is changed to a C below. Transcribe this section of DNA into mRNA and then translate the mRNA into the correct sequence of amino acids. Answer the question below. Mutated DNA: TAC CCT GAC TGA GGA CCC CTC TTC AGA mRNA: AUG GGA CUG ACU CCU GGA GAG AAG ARG amino acid sequence: MET, GLY, LEU, THR, PRO, GLY, GLU, LYS, ARG What happens to the amino acid sequence because of this change from a T to a C?
