Exposure to various chemicals can cause DNA mutations. Classify the examples as representative of transition, transversion, or nsertion/deletion mutations.

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
You have the following DNA coding sequence of a wild-type allele: 5’-ATG TTC CAG CTA GAT GAT ATG CTG GTA ATT GGG GAA CGC GCG CGG TAA-3’ For each of the following mutations: A. State whether the mutation is missense, nonsense, frameshift, or silent. B. Write the codon change that occurs for the missense, nonsense, and silent mutations (ex. GAA -- GAT). C. For frameshift mutations, write out the entire mutant sequence with each codon clearly indicated (if the frameshift creates a new stop codon, end the sequence at the new stop). Using the wild type DNA sequence above as a guide : Write the amino acid sequence of the mutants. Mutant 1: transition at nucleotide 23 Mutant 2: T --> G transversion at nucleotide 29 Mutant 3: an insertion of “A” after nucleotide 14 Mutant 4: transition at nucleotide 7 Mutant 5: An insertion of GG after nucleotide 40 Mutant 6: transition at nucleotide 15 Mutant 7: a deletion of nucleotide 25
