Universal Codon Chart illustrating mRNA codons and their associated amino acids.

- Read the provided DNA sequence and identify the codons.
- Transcribe the DNA sequence into its complementary mRNA sequence by replacing each DNA base with its RNA complement (A→U, T→A, C→G, G→C).
- Use the Universal Codon Chart to translate the mRNA codons into their corresponding amino acids.
- Identify the specific point mutation location in the DNA sequence.
- Apply the point mutation by changing the specified single nucleotide base pair in the original DNA sequence.
- Transcribe the mutated DNA sequence into mRNA.
- Translate the mutated mRNA sequence into the new amino acid sequence.
- Compare the original and mutated amino acid sequences to determine the consequence of the point mutation (e.g., silent, missense, or nonsense mutation).
