24. Use the table below to answer the following question. The template strand of a gene contains this sequence: 3'-TAC TAG GCT AGT TGA-5'. A mutation occurs due to exposure to a chemical mutagen that changes the gene sequence to 3'-TAC TAG ACT AGT TGA-5'. How does this mutation affect the resulting amino acid sequence? (LS3-2) * Second mRNA base UAU Tyr UAC UCU UGU UUU Phe UUC U Cys UCC Ser UCA UGC Gly (G) Phe Leu (F) (L) Glu UUA Leu UUG UAA Stop UGA Stop Ser Asp (E) (D) (S) Tyr (Y) UCG UAG Stop UGG Trp GU A G U Ala (A) CUU CCU CAU CGU U A His CUC G CC Pro ССА CAC CGC Arg CGA Cys (C) Leu Val CUA CAA Gln CAG (V) GTrp (W) CUG CCG CGG Arg (R) G A C Leu AUU ACU AAU AGU (L) Asn A C Ser Ser (S) AUC Ile ACC AAC AGC Thr ACA A CUG Lys (K) AUA Pro AAA Lys AAG AGA Arg AGG Asm (P) AUG Met or start ACG (N) Thr (T) His (H) Gln GUU GCU GAU Asp GAÇ GGU (Q) lle Arg (R) (U) GUC Val GUA GCC Ala GCA GGC Gly GGA GAA Glu GAG GUG GCG GGG O The mutation changes a single amino acid to another amino acid. O The mutation does not affect the amino acid sequence. O The mutation eliminates the stop codon in the third triplet. The mutation introduces a stop codon. First mRNA base (5' end of codon) Third mRNA base (3' end of codon)
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
