Answer one a b or c for each question

Biology 100

31

  A) Theoretically, how many amino acids would a protein contain if coded for by a gene with 1245 nucleotides?

-OR-

B) Theoretically, how many nucleotides would a gene contain if it codes for a protein composed of 650 amino acids?

32-33. In humans, freckles is a dominant trait and the absence of freckles is recessive. If a man heterozygous with freckles marries a woman without freckles, what are the genotype and phenotype frequencies you would expect in their children?

34-35 In pea plants, green pods are dominant over yellow pods. Two plants with green pods are crossed. All the offspring plants are counted and pod colors recorded. It is discovered that the F1 generation consists of 123 individuals, of which, 92 have been found to have green pods and 31 were found to have yellow pods. What is the genotype of the plants in the F1 generation with yellow pods? What are the most likely genotypes of the parent plants?

Refer to the partial gene sequence of DNA nucleotide bases listed below, and the genetic code chart on the next page to answer the following questions.

42. What is the mRNA nucleotide sequence that would result from transcription of the partial gene sequence of DNA nucleotides?

43. What is the protein amino acid sequence resulting from translation of the mRNA sequence from the previous question?

44. In the gene sequence of DNA nucleotides, guanine (G) is mistakenly replaced by adenine (A) during DNA replication.

What type of mutation would this be considered based on how it occurred? ________

 a) spontaneous b) gametic c) mutagenic d) carcinogenic

45. Consider the mutation from the previous question. If it occurred within a skin cell of the body, what type of mutation would this also be considered based on where it occurred? ________

 a) gametic b) germline c) heritable d) somatic

46. Consider the mutation from the previous questions. Based on the effect the mutation had on the DNA sequence, what type of mutation would this be considered? ________

 a) addition b) frameshift c) substitution d) deletion
