Question

Q1: with the following information, determine how many proteins will contain a mutation if an error occurred in each process below:

•Replication:

•Transcription:

•Translation:

Information: when activated, this gene is transcribed 10 times and each transcript is translated 3 times. Assume the mutation isn’t silent and for this problem the gene is only activated once.

Q2: in what scenario (affecting which molecule) would offspring have this mutation? (give me cell type as well)

(Note: I can at most give a perfect score in the final discussion grade, not more)

Explanation / Answer

Q1:

10 proteins will contain a mutation if an error occured in replication, transcription and translation.

Q2:

When this type of mutation occurs in germ cells DNA , then the offspring get the mutation.
