UGA stands for Threonine. UGG stands for Threonine. Nothing would change. This is none as a silent mutation.
Source: AP Biology Student and a DNA-Codon to Amino acid chart
^ actually, according to my chart, UGA is a stop codon and UGG stands for TRYPTOPHAN (not threonine), also UGG is the ONLY codon that codes for tryptophan, so it isn't a silent mutation, either. the correct answer is that the peptide will be longer than normal.

What do codons UGG and AUG have in common?
AUG is the only codon which codes for methionine and UGG is the only amino acid that codes for Tryptophan. These are the only codons which have only one codon to represent their specific amino acid.
What is the sequence of bases of the mrna for tacaaatttgcaaccact?
TAC AAA TTT GCA ACC ACT (DNA) AUG UUU AAA CGU UGG UGA (mRNA)
Why does mrna mutation affect the amino acid sequence?
The codon UGU codes for the amino acid Cysteine. The codon UGG codes for the amino acid Tryptophan. Therefore the mutation will cause the amino acid Cysteine to be replaced with Tryptophan. These amino acids are quite different, and the final shape of the protein could be changed as a result. This could affect the function of the protein.
What do the codons UGG and AUG have in common?
They both have g's at the end and a U in there somewhere.
Describe the processes of transcription and translation and correctly identify the anticodon for the following DNA template strand-acg tgg gca tga acg tgg?
mRNA - carries genetic code for protein tRNA - helps incorporate amino acids into polypeptide chains. rRNA - forms structural and functional components of ribosomes. Transcription - occurs in the nucleus of the cell. Production of mRNA from DNA. 1) Initiation - RNA polymerase recognises and binds to the specific promoter sequence and initiates transcription. 2) Elongation - RNA Polymerase moves along the template DNA strand (bottom strand) in a 3' to 5' direction, unwinding it as it goes to synthesize RNA in the 5' to 3' direction. (to create the mRNA strand) 3) Termination - RNA Polymerase encounters a transcription terminator, releases the completed mRNA strand and dissociates from the DNA. Translation - occurs in cytoplasm. Production of polypeptide chain (protein products) from mRNA. Occurs in a 5' to 3' direction. 1) Initiation - Ribosomes bind to mRNA 2) Elongation - Amino Acids (carried by tRNA) are incorporated into polypeptide chains. (Anticodons at the base of tRNA must make a perfect complementary match with the codon on mRNA before the amino acid will be released.) 3) Termination - Ribosomes, polypeptide chain and tRNA are released from mRNA. Anti-codon for DNA template strand - 3' - ACG UGG TCA UGA ACG UGG - 5'
What is the codon for trytophan?
The codon for trytophan is UGG.
Which codon specifies tryptophan?
UGG
What two amino acids are represented with only one codon?
They are triptopan and methionine.Codons are UGG and AUG respectively.
What do codons UGG and AUG have in common?
AUG is the only codon which codes for methionine and UGG is the only amino acid that codes for Tryptophan. These are the only codons which have only one codon to represent their specific amino acid.

What is the difference between Ugg Australia and Australian UGG?
UGG Australia is brand name/ trademark. Australian UGG is a type of boots, which looks like most "UGG Australia" boots. Some manufacturers uses the word "UGG" to fake "UGG Australia".
Is ugg boots spelled like this ugg or this ugh?
The correct spelling is "ugg boots"
Where can one buy UGG men ascots?
One can buy UGG men ascots by going to to UGG website. The UGG website has a complete listing of all of the shoes and boots that are made by the UGG company.
What does Ugg make?
Ugg makes sheepskin boots
Are there ugg slippers?
Yes, you can buy Ugg slippers.
Is there blue ugg boots?
There are light blue colored Ugg boots, so yes, there are blue Ugg boots.
