answered by Lifeeasy Authors. 1  The ribosome moves forward on the m-RNA, one codon at a time and finally reaches the termination codon (UAA/ UAG/ UGA). 2  As termination codon does not code for any amino acid, the polypeptide chain breaks and the protein molecule is seperated.
The result is sickle cell disease. A single DNA base-pair change in a gene can create an incorrect codon in the mRNA molecule made from this DNA. When the incorrect codon is read on the ribosome, the wrong amino acid (in this case valine rather than glutamic acid) is placed into the polypeptide. With the wrong amino acid sequence, the protein does not form or func-tion properly.
