Apoint mutation changes a codon in an mrna molecule. will the mutation affect the polypeptide that forms? why?
a. yes. each amino acid is specified by only one codon.
b. no. the structure of dna, and not rna, determines the polypeptide
c. maybe. some codons are translated into two or more amino acids.
d. maybe. some sets of codons are translated into the same amino acid.

The answer is either C or D because substitution mutations can change only one codon, and there are multiple codons that may code for the same amino acid. I would say the answer is D.

Explanation:

i believe the answer is a or 1

desert perennials often survive by remaining dormant during dry periods of the year, then springing to life when water becomes available. most annual desert plants germinate only after heavy seasonal rain, then complete their reproductive cycle very quickly.
