1. Point mutations are changes to a single base/nucleotide in the DNA sequence of a gene. This sequence change can alter the protein made from the gene in different ways depending on the type of mutation (missense, nonsense, synonymous/silent, frameshift, and loss of stop). Below is an mRNA sequence and its translated protein. For each question, select a single base/nucleotide in the ne result in the indicated mutation (note: more than one answer may be corr one) Normal Sequence: mRNA: 5' protein: GCACGU-AUG-UAC-GGG-CAU-ACA-UGA-UCGGACC 3' Met Tyr Gly His Thr Stop Nonsense Mutation: mRNA: 5' GCACGU- Protein: Silent/Synonymous Mutation: mRNA: 5' GCACGU- Protein: position U 2nd poston UCAG Phe Phe Ser Ser Leu Leu Ser Ser Tyr Cys Cys stop Trp Leu Leu C Leu Pro Leu Pro Alle lle Thr Asn Thr Asn Val G Val Val Val Pro His Pro His Gin Gin Th Met Thr Tyr stop stop Ala Ala Lys Lys Asp Asp Arg Arg Arg Arg Ala Ala Glu Amino Acids Ser Ser Arg Arg Gly Gly Glu Gly Gly 3rd U A G G >< G
