Question

An EMS mutagenesis screen identified several mutants in this gene. The figure shows the position of two of these mutations a and b. The ucleotides are altered in these 2 different swo-1 mutant alleles. Use the genetic table to describe any AA changes. 

Name the type of mutation and describe its effect on swo-1 mRNA and protein for each of the mutations

5. The swo-1 a mutation leads to worms with more body wall muscle, whereas worms with the swo-1 b mutation are not able to move. Based on these phenotypes and the findings from questions 3 and 4, describe the role the
wild-type version of this protein plays in muscle function.

Follow-up Question

Hi, I only need the answer for this particular question, if that's ok:

The swo-1 a mutation leads to worms with more body wall muscle, whereas worms with the swo-1 b mutation are not able to move. Based on these phenotypes and the findings from questions 3 and 4, describe the role the
wild-type version of this protein plays in muscle function.

Thank you!
