Match the following Characteristic to their proper Mutation:
Question 4 options:
CHOICES:
1.
Missense Mutations
2.
Silent Mutations
3.
Nonsense Mutations
4.
None of the Above
DNA base pair that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene.
Also known as Nonsynonymous Mutation
Mutation results in a shortened protein that may function improperly or not at all.
Do not affect the structure or function of the protein because there is no effect on the amino acid sequence.
Takes full advantage of the Wobble Hypothesis
Altered DNA sequence prematurely signals the cell to stop building a protein.
RNA processing is disrupted and the transcript is degraded before it even leaves the nucleus.
DNA bases changes a gene’s reading frame.
Also known as Synonymous Mutation
Below is a segment of RNA, transcribed from a DNA sequence. Provide an example of each kind of mutation and explain what will happen to the organism. You may choose which base to alter. Please provide the new amino acid sequence with each mutation. 5’ AUGCCUACGGACUGGCCU 3’ (Met/Pro/Thr/Asp/Trp/Pro) Use the following codon chart to help you show the translation of each sequence.
a. Frameshift Mutation :
b. Missense Mutation :
c. Silent Mutation :
d. What is the anticodon sequence of the original amino acid?
For each mutant, state what change has occurred in the DNA, whether it was a substitution by transition or transversion, sense mutation, nonsense or reading frame change. It must present the codon sequence.
Normal nucleotide sequence starting from the third codon: CCC-ACG-GUG-ACG-ACA-CGG-UGG
Please show the codon and nucleotide sequence of the mutation.
