What if a mutation occurred in the human insulin gene and the first codon was changed to CCG? Is
this a silent mutation? Explain how you know.

Yes, this will be a silent mutation.

Explanation:

The mutation which occurred in the human insulin gene where the first codon was changed to CCG will be a silent codon because this will not change the sequence of the amino acid and the amino acids formed will remain the same.

A silent mutation occurs due to base substitutions resulting in a change in the nucleotide that does not impact the amino acid or protein formed once the mRNA is translated. The protein will retains its functional aspects.

characterization of nanoparticles is a critical step in nanomaterial production as it provides information of dimension, morphology, surface charge, distribution and degree of surface functionalization.

the elements of art are the visual tools that the artist uses to create a composition. these are line, shape, color, value, form, texture, and space.

the principles of art and design are balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, rhythm, and unity/variety.
