You are studying a mutation in mice, which acts dominantly. Mice that have only one copy of the allele carrying this mutation have a kinky tail phenotype. You identify the gene that the mutation affects and find that the codon that encodes the second amino acid in the predicted protein has been mutated to a stop codon. Would you characterize this mutation as a loss-of-function or a gain-of-function and what specific subtype (hypermorphic, antimorphic, etc. ) within these categories? Explain your reasoning.”

Q. Deletion of a single AT base pair from codon number 4 can cause a frameshift mutation in a protein-coding gene. Which of the following additional mutations will restore the reading frame back to “normal” such that the original stop codon will still function?

. You obtain the DNA sequence of a mutant of a 2-kb genein which you are interested and it shows base differencesat three positions, all in different codons. One is a silentchange, but the other two are missense changes (they encode new amino acids). How would you demonstratethat these changes are real mutations and not sequencing errors? (Assume that sequencing is about 99.9 percent accurate.)
Identify the best match between the mutation description and term. a. Transversion: results in a change in single nucleotide from a purine to another purine or a pyrimidine to another pyrimidine b. Nonsense mutation: a change in the DNA that changes the codon code from one amino acid to another amino acid c. Missense mutation: causes a drastic change in phenotype because the change causes a premature stop in the amino acid sequence d. Indel: has the potential to cause large changes in transcription and subsequence amino acid sequence due to reading frameshifts
