What is the Ames test used for? 3. List three ways induced mutations can occur. (3 points) a mahun ina

Explanation / Answer

1. T to C is a transition mutation

2. G to C is a transversion mutation

3. Skin cancer can be caused by somatic mutations due to exposure to UV rays in the sunlight

4. A nonsense mutation converts an amino acid specifying codon to nonsense codon.

5. A silent mutation does not change the amino acid

6. A missense mutation changes valine to lysine

7. Deletion of a nucleotide causes a frameshift mutation.

8. Mutation rate = Number of mutations per generation
