Exercise 2

The following sequence is that of the first 45 codons from the human gene for preproinsulin. Using the genetic code (Figure, p. 108), determine what fraction of mutations at the first, second, and third positions of these 45 codons will be synonymous. $The following sequence is that of the first 45 codons from the human gene for preproinsulin. Using the genetic code (Figure, p. 108), determine what fraction of mutations at the first, second, and third positions of these 45 codons will be synonymous. Figure At which position is natural selection likely to have the greatest effect and nucleotides are most likely to be conserved?$
