Below is the 5'-3' strand of a double-stranded DNA molecule with the following nucleotide sequences (all belong to an exon): 5'CCTATGCAGTGGCCATATTCCAAAGCATAGC3' 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 1. If the above DNA strand is the coding (sense) strand and the DNA molecule is expressed to produce a protein product, however prior to expression, mutation took place where, a. the 15th base was replaced by Guanine. Is the amino acid sequence of the synthesized polypeptide chain altered, as compared when there was no mutation? Specify type of mutation in relation to protein function. Is the base substitution a transition or transversion mutation? b. the 18th base was replaced by Guanine. Is there an effect in the structure and function of the synthesized protein, as compared when there was no mutation? Specify type of mutation in relation to protein function. Is the base substitution a transition or transversion mutation?
Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.
