Question

Use the DNA Mutations Interactive to determine which of the following are missense mutations. The adenine of the start codon is located at the +1 position an A nucleotide is inserted after position +1 in the sense strand a deletion of the A at position +7 in the antisense strand a transition at position +12 in the antisense strand an insertion of A between positions +7 and +8 on the sense strand a transversion of C in the sense strand of the histidine codon a substitution of G to U at position +13 in the sense strand

Explanation / Answer

A deletion of A at position + 7 in antisense strand

A transition at position +12 in antisense strand

Note- any changein anti sense trend lead tomrna defect as antisense strand code for mrna and not sense strand.
