Question

The following is the DNA sequence of the entire protein-coding region for some small gene in a eukaryote. Shown is the coding strand. The first row is the original sequence with no mutations. Subsequent rows represent a single mutation Mutation DNA Sequence None 5, ..A T G C T G AGC C G C G G C T GA.. 3,1 5, ?A T G C T G A G A C G C G G C T GA.. 3" 5' ."A T G C T G A G C C G C G G T T G A.. 3, The region without a mutation is transcribed, and then translated Give the protein that is translated from this section of DNA, Use the single letter abbriviations for amino acids with no spaces. Determine the molecular basis for each mutation and vwhat lefftect there would be on the protein Mutation Molecular Basis Effect on Protein

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Based on the given information:

The mRNA sequence is: 5' .. AUGCUGAGCCGCGGCUGA ...3'

Give the protein that is translated from the given section of DNA. Use single letter abbreviation for amino acids with no spaces.

Determine the molecular basis for each mutation and what effect there would be on the protein
