11. Look at problem 10. What if the mRNA had a frameshift mutation and lost the 3rd C in the second codon, what would the new mRNA strand be?

AUG CCC UAU AUG GUA GAG UGU AG

Explanation:

After a frameshift mutation, every codon is changed. This is a missense mutation that changed all the proteins in the mRNA. Clearly, mutations can pack quite a punch in the important job of translation and transcription.

if the type of the food available changes, then the frequency of beak types will change, because birds with beaks more suited to the available food will be more successful over time.
