Explanation / Answer

39. mRNA is synthesized by RNA polymerase II

40. A non-sense mutation is the mutation which is a codon corresponding to a specific amino-acid is coverted to stop codon. A silent mutation is the mutation in the base which does not change the amino acid to which the codon was coding. A frameshift mutation is the mutation caused by the deletion or addition of the base which then ultimately changes the sequence of the amino acid chain to which the DNA was coding. A mis-sense mutation is a point mutation in which one base is changed to another causing the change in the amino acid to which the codon was coding. So according to the question this mutation is a MIS-SENSE mutation as it does a point mutation at position 7 causing the amino acid to change from glutamic acid to lysine.
