The original codons code for Leucine and Glutamic acid. The mutated codons code for Valine and Glutamine.

Genetic codes and amino acids

Each of the genetic codes. otherwise known as codons, translates to an amino acid.

Following the table of genetic codes with their respective amino acids:

  • CTC (CUC) codes for Leucine
  • GAG codes for Glutamic acid
  • GTC (GUC)codes for Valine
  • CAG codes for Glutamine

Thus, the glutamic acid in the original codon has been replaced with glutamine in the mutated codon while Leucine has been replaced with Valine.
