Warm Up 2/25/11 Please answer in complete sentences

This discussion focuses on a mutation that affects the assembly of a messenger RNA (mRNA) strand, specifically how a strand that typically starts with UAC has been altered to begin with UAG. This mutation analogy relates to sickle-cell anemia, a genetic disorder caused by a mutation that results in an abnormal protein. We will explore which component of the DNA molecule carries the instructions essential for protein production and how such mutations can lead to significant biological consequences.
