Question

eCt Would mutation M2 have on the protein produced?
4. A protein is found with the sequence Met-Thr-Im-Phe-Lys-Cys-Arg-His-Pro-Gly, A mutant is found with
the sequence Met-Thr-Trp-Rhe-Lys.
Assuming that the mutant resulted from a single base change in the DNA encoding the gene, what
mutation took place at the DNA level and how did that affect the MRNA and protein sequence?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Mutations are change in the nucleotide sequence which results in abnormalities in the protein product. Mutations are classified as Somatic mutation and Germline mutation based on the type of cell affected. Germline mutations are classified as Base substitution mutation, Sinlge base substitution, Insersion mutation, Deletion mutation, and Frame shift mutation. These are the mutations transferred genetically.
