A mutation in the third base of a codon for the amino acid Proline (Pro) will always be a silent mutation. Which of the following pieces of information best supports this claim?

• Proline is always made from the same 3 bases

• As long as the first two bases on the mRNA codon are both C, it will always code for proline; regardless of the 3rd base

• Proline is a stop codon, so it isn't actually an amino acid and therefore cannot be mutated

• Proline has evolved to become resistant to harmful mutations
