Which of the following single nucleotide changes on the DNA's coding strand would be expected to have no effect on the protein level?

E. AGT change to AGC

AGT as well as AGC code for amino acid Serine, hence if AGT is changed to AGC, there will be no effect on protein sequence. Thus, it is a silent mutation. On the other hand, GTT codes for valine and GCT codes for Alanine. TAA is a stop codon, while TAC codes for Tyrosine. ATG is the initiation codon and codes for methionine, while ATA codes for Isoleucine. CAA codes for Glutamine and GAA codes for glutamic acid. Hence, all these changes except for option E will change the resulting protein sequence.
