Question

Mutations The table below lists four mutations that could occur in the DNA template strand below, 3' - TAc GCA AGC AAT ACC GAC CAT GGA -5' What happens to the amino acid sequence or protein produced as ? result of each mutation' Note: Position 1 refers to the first base at the 3' end of the DNA template strand Mutation Effect on amino acid sequence , I Substitution of T for G at position 8 TAC GCA ATC AAT ACC GAC CAT GOA -5' 2 Addition of T between positions Sand 9 3' TAC GCA AGTC AAT ACC GAC CAT GGA - 3. Deletion ofC at position 15 3' TAC GCA AGC AAT AC GAC CAT GI13A - 5 1. Substitution of T for Cat position 18 3' - TM' GCA AGC AAT ACC GAT CAT GGA -5' Which of the mutations above produces the least change in the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide? Please explain your claim.

Explanation / Answer

1. Change in the amino acis in the sequence

2. Mutation change

3. Delete mutation

4. Change in the amino acis in the sequence
