4e. You also study the expression of 3 different mutants for this gene. For each mutant answer the
following:
Does this mutation change the sequence of the protein produced? Why or why not?
If it does change the sequence of protein be sure to write out the new sequence.
o If it does not change the protein sequence, what effect (if any) would you expect it
to have on expression of the gene?

i. Mutant A has a single base pair substitution with the TIA being replaced with C/G base pair at
position 35 (position denoted by the * in the sequence above).
ii. Mutant B has a 2 GIC pairs inserted between position 19 and 20 (position denoted by the ^ in
the sequence above).
ii. Mutant C has had the first 5 base pairs deleted (position 1-5). Does this mutation change the
sequence of the protein produced? Why or why not? If it does change the sequence of protein
be sure to write out the new sequence. If it does not change the protein sequence, what effect
