    The document discusses how a mutation in DNA can change the mRNA codon and potentially alter the resulting protein. It notes that a normal DNA strand is shown alongside a mutated one, and asks to draw the complimentary mRNA strands and circle the codons. It then asks to write the normal and mutated codons and explain what may occur next in protein synthesis and how this could affect traits. While mutations are often viewed as bad, the document acknowledges that without them life would not exist and evolution would not be possible.

    SOMETHING FOR YOUR THOUGHTS:

    Although mutations are often seen as bad, without them, life as we


    know it would not exist.

    No humans learning science, no wolves hunting rabbits, no


    elephants squashing pumpkins, and no fish.

    Evolution, the change in living things over generations, largely


    depends on the existence of these “mistakes”.
