* Original Codon: UAG
* Mutation: UAG to UCG
* Original Amino Acid: UAG is a stop codon, meaning it signals the end of protein synthesis.
* New Codon: UCG
* New Amino Acid: UCG codes for Serine (Ser).
Therefore, the mutation would change a stop codon to a codon that codes for the amino acid Serine.
This type of mutation is known as a nonsense mutation because it changes a codon that normally specifies an amino acid into a stop codon, resulting in a truncated protein. In this case, however, it actually changes a stop codon into a sense codon, resulting in an extended protein.
