Chapter 7, Problem 14WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The possible cause of given mutations in altering the amino acid sequence when the protein-encoding region of a gene with DNA sequence is given.
Introduction:
Mutation is defined as the alteration caused in the cell’s DNA sequence. Mutation can occur either in a gene or in a regulatory region such as a promoter. Some mutations cause illness, but it also makes evolution possible.

- The Human Genome Project resulted in the identification of 20,000 genes that code for proteins in humans. On average, each gene can code for 4 different proteins. Which of the following processes explains how a single gene could code for more than one protein? A) the central dogma of molecular biology B) mutations C) alternative splicing D) redundancy in the genetic code E) the fact that there are three stop codonsarrow_forwardThe original DNA base sequence is 5’-AGCGTTACCGT-3’; a mutation in the DNA strand results in the base sequence 5’-AGGCGTTACCGT-3’. What can you conclude about the mutation? A. It is a frameshift mutation. B. It is a silent mutation. C. It is a deleterious mutation. D. It may result in a single amino acid change in the protein being coded for by this base sequence.arrow_forwardWhich of the following mutations would be most likely to havea harmful effect on an organism?(A) a deletion of three nucleotides near the middle of a gene(B) a single nucleotide deletion in the middle of an intron(C) a single nucleotide deletion near the end of the codingsequence(D) a single nucleotide insertion downstream of, and close to,the start of the coding sequencearrow_forward
- Which of the following would probably cause the most severe damage to a gene's expression and phenotype a. A missense mutation changing the first methionine codon to an arginine codon. b. A deletion of a base in the 455th codon of a 456-amino acid protein. c. Alteration of a UGG codon to a UGA codon at position 324 of a 324 amino acid protein. d. Mutation of a GUC codon (valine) to a GUU codon (valine).arrow_forwardA molecular geneticist hopes to find a Gene in human liver cell that codes for an important blood-clotting protein,he knows that the nucleotide sequence of a small part of the Gene is GTGGACTGACA.briefly explain how to obtain genearrow_forwardHow might a single base substitution in the sequence of a gene affect the amino acid sequence of a protein encoded by the gene, and why? A - It is not possible for a single base substitution to affect protein structure, because each codon is three bases long. B- The amino acid sequence would be substantially altered, because the reading frame would change with a single base substitution. C - Only a single amino acid could change, because the reading frame is unaffected. D- All amino acids following the substitution would be affected, because the reading frame would be shifted.arrow_forward
