Question

Differentiate between mutation and genetic code​

Answer 1

mutations are errors in condons caused by changes in nucleotide bases some mutations may not have each effect. for example, if the condon GAA becomes the condon GAG because the genetic code is degenerate the condon will still code for the amino acid glutamate.

Answer 2

• In biology, a mutation is the alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genomeof an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA.
• In biology, a mutation is the alteration of the nucleotide sequence of the genomeof an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA.Mutations result from errors during DNA replication (especially during meiosis) or other types of damage to DNA (such as may be caused by exposure to radiation or carcinogens), which then may undergo error-prone repair (especially microhomology-mediated end joining or cause an error during other forms of repair, or else may cause an error during replication (translesion synthesis). Mutations may also result from insertion or deletion of segments of DNA due to mobile genetic elements.Mutations may or may not produce discernible changes in the observable characteristics (phenotype) of an organism. Mutations play a part in both normal and abnormal biological processes including: evolution, cancer, and the development of the immune system, including junctional diversity.
• The genetic code is the set of rules used by living cells to translate information encoded within genetic material (DNA or mRNA sequences) into proteins. Translation is accomplished by the ribosome, which links amino acids in an order specified by messenger RNA(mRNA), using transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules to carry amino acids and to read the mRNA three nucleotides at a time. The genetic code is highly similar among all organisms and can be expressed in a simple table with 64 entries.[1]

The genetic code is highly similar among all organisms and can be expressed in a simple table with 64 entries.[1]The code defines how sequences of nucleotide triplets, called codons, specify which amino acid will be added next during protein synthesis. With some exceptions,[2] a three-nucleotide codon in a nucleic acid sequence specifies a single amino acid. The vast majority of genes are encoded with a single scheme (see the RNA codon table). That scheme is often referred to as the canonical or standard genetic code, or simply the genetic code, though variant codes (such as in human mitochondria) exist.
