A researcher studying bacterial toxin predicts that a lysine within the toxin is important for binding it’s target cell.  She used site-directed mutagenesis to change a codon for lysine (AAA) to one for asparagine (AAU).  However, the mutant toxin still binds to its target cell just as well as the wild-type toxin bound and appears to have no other changes. This type of mutation is probably

A new E. coli mutant was tested for auxotrophy. The mutant grows on:

minimal medium (M) + arginine (A) + proline (P)

M + P + histidine (H)

M + A + H + P

but not on M or on M + A + H. The mutant requires
