4. Compare the DNA sequences of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and their family members. Two codons in the APP gene sequence are different in the two patients with Alzheimer's disease compared to individuals without the disease. Consider the first codon that's different and complete the table below. Codon in Codon in Amino Acid DNA template strand MRNA APP gene in individuals without Alzheimer's disease APP gene in individuals with Alzheimer's disease Does the change in this codon represent a silent or a missense mutation? Explain.
