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.

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.

N- -C

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