-d Periodic Table ncorrect Calculator stion 4 of 10 Incorrect Sapling Learning The table below contains the DNA sequence for a segment of the human insulin gene and the same DNA sequence with a mutation. Original sequence ATG CTG TAC CAG CAT CTG CTC CCT Mutated sequence ATG CTG TAC CGC ATC TGC TCC CTC Which type of mutation occurred in the original sequence to generate the mutated sequence? O inversion O deletion O insertion O substitution Incorrect. sequence is not produced by a substitution mutation. In a substitution mutation, one The mutated nucleotide is replaced with a different one in the DNA sequence, but the rest of the nucleotides in the mutated sequence line up with the original sequence. However, in this mutated sequence, the nucleotides that follow the mutation are shifted to the left U Previous Givc Up & View Solution Try Again O Next 61 E

Explanation / Answer

Answer is "deletion"

ATG CTG TAC CAG CAT CTG CTC CCT original sequence

ATG CTG TAC C--G CAT CTG CTC CCT mutated sequence

In the fourth codon, Adenine is deleted. So, the whole sequence has changed from the fourth codon.
