Question

A mutation causing an addition or a deletion of one base pair resulted in the production of a nonfunctional mutant protein. The sequences of the normal and mutant proteins are given below.

Normal: Met - Gly - Glu - Val - Asp

Mutant: Met - Gly - Lys - Ser - Ile - Lys - Trp - Arg - .....

Was this mutation cause by an insertion or a deletion? Answerinsertiondeletion

Below, fill in the codons in the coding sequence of the mRNA that is translated into the mutant protein. If more than one codon is possible, just enter a single codon.

   NH2    Met Gly Lys Ser Ile codons 5' AUG    Answer    Answer    Answer    Answer

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

The deletion of the nucletide base (guanine) in the sequnece leads to mutation.

Met -AUG

Gly - GAA

lys - AAG
