Question

(a.) When a mutation occurs to the given sequence of DNA, it will be;

5' CTATAAGGCGCAAATTCCTGCCAT 3'

Then the mRNA sequence will be,

5' GAUAUUCCGCGUUUAAGGACGGUA 3'

Amino acids - (Asp Leu Pro Arg Leu Arg Thr Val)

(b.) When a mutation occurs to the given sequence of DNA, it will be;

5' CTATAAGGCGGAAATCCCTGCCAT 3'

Then the mRNA sequence will be, 5' GAUAUUCCGCCUUUAGGGACGGUA 3'

Amino acids - (Asp Leu Pro Pro Leu Gly Thr Val)

(c.) When a mutation occurs to the given sequence of DNA, it will be;

5' CTATAAGGCTCAAATCCCTGCCAT 3'

Then the mRNA sequence will be, 5' GAUAUUCCGAGUUUAGGGACGGUA 3'

Amino acids - (Asp Leu Pro Ser Leu Gly Thr Val)

(d.) When a mutation occurs to the given sequence of DNA, it will be;

5' CTATAAGGCGCAAATCCCTCCAT 3¹

Then the mRNA sequence will be, 5' GAUAUUCCGCGUUUAGGGAGGUA 3'

Amino acids - (Asp Leu Pro Arg Leu Gly Arg).
As the last sequence contains only 2 bases it will not represent any amino acid.
