Question

transcribe and translate the DNA sequen Transeribe and translate the DNA sequence. The DNA sequence below represents the original, unmutated DNA that is your starting point for questions 2.5 1. 4. Add a point silent mutation to the DNA, transcribe and translate DNA: TAC DNA: TAC TAA ATG GTC CGA TTT ACC ACT mRNA: AUG mRNA: AUG Protein: Met Protein: Met----_ 2. Add a point missenss mutation to the DNA, then transcribe and translate. DNA TAC 5. Add a frameshift mutation to the DNA, transcribe and translate. DNA: TAC mRNA: AUG mRNA: AUG Protein: Met Protein: Met 6. Which type(s) of mutations afflected the organism's genotype? 3. Add a point nonsense mutation to the DNA, then transcribe and translate. DNA: TAC 7. Which type(s) of mutations were most likely to affect the protein's function? mRNA: AUG 8. Which type(s) of mutations were least likely to affect the protein's function? Protein: Met_

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 :

The DNA codes for the mRNA sequence , and the bases in the newly formed sequence is complimentary to the ones found in the DNA template.

So here , the mRNA sequence will be :

mRNA : AUG AUU UAC CAG GCU AAA UGG UGA

Protein : Met ile tyr gln ala lys trp stop

UGA is a stop codon , so the translation will stop there.
