Activity 1. Transcription, Translation and Mutation

The document provides examples of transcription, translation, and mutation activity. It includes 6 examples showing the DNA coding strand, DNA template strand, mRNA codons, tRNA anticodons, and resulting amino acids. Each example demonstrates how a single nucleotide change in the DNA template strand affects transcription of mRNA and translation to amino acids. The examples are meant to illustrate how mutations occur during DNA replication and their effects.
