When two genes from two different strains of
the same bacteria are sequenced and aligned, it is discovered that there are
multiple sequence differences in the coding segment DNA level. However, when
the proteins formed by the genes have their amino acids sequenced, there is no
difference observed between the two. What is the most likely explanation for
this observation?

Question

Answer

The mutations are corrected at the protein level after translation has occurred.

Answer

The mutations are repaired at the mRNA level after transcription has
occurred, but before translation

Answer

The mutations lie at locations where they don't affect protein sequence
due to degeneracy of the genetic code.

Answer

Mutations at the DNA level are not reflected in proteins produced
