Evidence suggests that HIV first infected humans in 1931 (it wasn’t until 52 years later, in 1983, that HIV was officially identified as the virus that causes AIDS). Today, a small percentage of the population carries a trait (mutation) that protects them against HIV infection. The genes that encode for this HIV-protecting trait ____________.

Shown below is the same piece of DNA shown twice. Both DNA strands have already become single-stranded in preparation for protein synthesis. The difference between the two DNA strands is underlined and highlighted in red. The mutation shown here is a ____________. Select all the correct answers and only the correct answers. Hint: You will need to work this out on your blank scratch paper. Also, you will need to use the genetic code provided below.
