Question

Name 5. What are some of the possible results of mutations? natune Part 2: Compare the mutated strands of DNA to the original template DNA in number one. 1. Template DNA sequence with no mutations: TAC GCA CCG TAT CAT GAT AAT Transcribe the DNA to make an mRNA molecule. Write the correct sequence of bases below: a. b. Translate the mRNA to make a strand of amino acids (a protein). Use the table of codons on page 191 in your textbook to help you. List the amino acids in order below: 2. The following strand of DNA has a mutation. TAC CCA CCG TAT CAT GAT AAT Transcribe the DNA to make an mRNA molecule. Write the correct sequence of bases below: a. b. Translate the mRNA to make a strand of amino acids (a protein). Use the table of codons on page 191 in your textbook to help you. List the amino acids in order below: c. Compare this strand of DNA to the DNA in number 1. What type of mutation is this? (Be specific- list all mutation types that apply).
