Identify where the base pair change occurs (what letters changed?) 2.) For BOTH sequences, write the mRNA strands, define the codon regions (with spaces), and amino acid sequences. 3.) Describe what kind of mutation has occurred (missense, nonsense, or silent), and what effect this may have on the protein. Wild Type DNA Sequence: 3' - CCTCGTTATGTG - 5' Mutated DNA Sequence: 3' - CCTCGTTATTTG - 5'
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.
Given the following Wild Type and Mutated DNA sequences:
1.) Identify where the base pair change occurs (what letters changed?)
2.) For BOTH sequences, write the mRNA strands, define the codon regions (with spaces), and amino acid sequences.
3.) Describe what kind of mutation has occurred (missense, nonsense, or silent), and what effect this may have on the protein.
