Question

Give the amino acid sequence predicted by the following nucleotide sequence of an RNA molecule. (Hint – look for the first start codon.)

5’ – CCAUGCAGCGACCGUGGGAAGGUCUUA – 3’

*Question 1: If the G-residue in bold and indicated by the asterisk mutated to an A nucleotide, what would the predicted amino acid sequence be?

*Question 2: If the G-residue in bold and indicated by the asterisk was deleted, what would the predicted amino acid sequence be?

PLEASE ANSWER BOTH QUESTION 1 AND QUESTION 2 THOROUGHLY!!!! G IS BOLDED IN THE SEQUENCE! THANKS IN ADVANCE

Amino acid sequence will start from AUG start codon that codes for methionine

So the sequence will be 5' met - gln- arg- pro-trp-glu-gly-leu 3'

Ans 1 if G is replaced by A then the codon will be UAG , which is a stop codon , so the RNA Transcript will not continue further from there,

The amino acid sequence will be 5' met- gln- arg- pro 3'

Ans 2 If this G residue is deleted then the amino acid sequence will be

5' met - gln - arg - pro - trp - lys - val - leu 3'
