Question

Consider the mRNA sequence below. Assume that the following mRNA segment has been translated.

 

5’-UACCGAAUGUCU-3’

 

Note for letters a and b: Use the three-letter abbreviation of amino acid; separate amino acids with a hyphen: do not include the stop codon.

 

Example:  ala-cys-glu

 

a. Using the table of the genetic code, determine the sequence of amino acids.   

b. If mutation occurs by substitution of the 12th nucleotide with cytidine-5’-monophosphate, what is the resulting amino acid sequence? 

c. What type of mutation occurred? Choose from same sense, missense and non-sense.
