The R group for serine is -CH2-OH. In the ionized form, serine has the structural formula ________.

Assume that a base-pair substitution mutation converts a DNA triplet (AAT) to another DNA triplet (AAA). A second mutation now changes the AAA triplet to the GAA triplet. (UUA and CUU code for leucine and UUU codes for phenylalanine.) This second mutation is an example of a(n):
