6. A deletion mutation occurs, leaving 92 bases in nucleotide sequence. What is the maximum number of amino
acids that could be coded for by this sequence?
a. 91
b. 30
C. 45
d. 3
Explain WHY.
7. Rank the following one-base point mutations with respect to their likelihood of affecting the structure of the
corresponding polypeptide (from most likely to least likely).
a. A--> C substitution mutation between the +1 position and the first AUG
b.
C --> T substitution mutation at the third position of a codon in an exon
C.
C--> T substitution mutation at the second position of a codon in an exon
d. deletion mutation in the first exon of the gene
e. insertion mutation in an exon near the end of the protein
Explain WHY.
