a)a mutation that changes UUA to UUG
b)a mutation that gives methionine instead of leucine
c)created by the addition of a nucleotide to a coding region
d)a stop codon is read as an amino acid
e)a chemically similar amino acid is replaced by the mutation
f)a mutation that changes CCU to ACU
g)da nucleotide in a coding region gives this type of mutation
h)mutation does not alter the peptide
i)a mutation changing UAU to UAG
j)premature termination codon is responsible for this mutation

Definitions:

Metals

Elements that are typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and conductive, often used for electrical wiring, building materials, and tools.

Alkaline

A type of basic, as opposed to acidic, substance; in batteries, it refers to a type using alkaline electrolytes such as potassium hydroxide, known for long life and steady power output.

P-Type

A type of semiconductor material that is doped with elements which create excess positive charge carriers or holes.

N-Type

A category of semiconductor material where the charge carriers are predominantly electrons, achieved by doping the material with elements having more valence electrons than the semiconductor.
