Answer:

What would happen if a genetic mutation in a gene changed a start codon to some other codon? The messenger RNA transcribed from the mutant gene would be nonfunctional because ribosomes could not initiate translation correctly. ... An incoming tRNA molecule with the right amino acid moves into the A site on the ribosome.
