figure 2: codon code chart image source: onie~commonswiki. “codon amino acid table”. wikimedia common, 21 february, 2007.https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/file:codons_aminoacids_table.png for this assignment, you will explain how the single base pair change in the hemoglobin gene changes by addressing the following in your response: 1. what is the process of transcription/ mrna? 2. what is the process of translation/ amino acid sequence of a protein? 3. what is the protein structure and function? - look up the chemical properties of the two amino acids (with/without the mutation) - how might this swap impact protein structure? essay assignment question 1

Explanation:

Answer:

1. Transcription is the process where a specific segment of DNA is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase.
2. Translation is the process where ribosomes synthesize a specific amino acid sequence (polypeptide) based on the genetic code carried by an mRNA molecule.
3. Protein structure refers to the specific 3D shape (primary to quaternary) determined by amino acid sequences, which dictates the protein's biological function.
