Problem 3: Nitrous acid causes all possible transition mutations, CT and G A. If the normal sequence of a protein contains a valine residue (val) at a particular place, what new amino acid(s) would most often appear in place of the valine residue as a result of nitrous acid mutagenesis? Use a codon chart.

the valine residue as a result of nitrous acid mutagenesis? Use a codon chart.
O Isoleucine, methionine, alanine
O Aspartic acid, glutamic acid, alanine
O Only termination codons
O Alanine or threonine
O Alanine
