Egypt's geological history has produced four major physical regions: the Nile Valley and Delta, the Western Desert (also known as the Libyan Desert), the Eastern Desert (also known as the Arabian Desert), and the Sinai Peninsula.
Abbreviation: Ks values. A synonymous mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that codes for amino acids in a protein sequence, but does not change the encoded amino acid. Due to the redundancy of the genetic code (multiple codons code for the same amino acid), these changes usually occur in the third position of a codon.
1 A silent mutation has no effect on the functioning of the protein. 2  A single nucleotide can change, but the new codon specifies the same amino acid, resulting in an unmutated protein. 3  This type of change is called synonymous change, since the old and new codon code for the same amino acid. Silent mutations: Code for the same amino acid. 2  A silent mutation has no effect on the functioning of the protein. 3  A single nucleotide can change, but the new codon specifies the same amino acid, resulting in an unmutated protein.
