Questions and situational problemsI. A particular gene codes for a mature mRNA containing 900 bases, which istranslated into a 40 kDa protein. A mutant form of the gene created by a singlepoint mutation yields an 830-base mature mRNA yielding a 37 kDa protein withmodified enzymatic activity. The analysis shows that the mutation has resultedin a 22 amino acid deletion within the protein. What is the most likely effect ofthe mutation? Explain.

Mutations are the changes in the DNA sequence of an organism.

Genetics problem part 1. Part 2 attached in new question Draw and Label what is happening in this scenario: The antibiotic erythromycin disrupts protein synthesis by binding to the 50 S subunit and preventing ribosomal translocation. No other step in protein synthesis is affected. a. If you are performing an in vitro translation reaction and add erythromycin just before the 3rd bond that is about to be made and wait a few minutes to look at the ribosome, you will find which tRNA in site A? b. If you are performing an in vitro translation reaction and add erythromycin just before the 3rd bond that is about to be made and wait a few minutes, the ribosome should have the carboxyl end of amino acid #3 covalently bonded directly to
BIOLOGY ACTIVITY -Gene Mutations and Proteins Objective: To demonstrate how gene mutations affect the production of proteins? Procedure: 1. Use the following base sequence of one strand of an AATTGAACACATGCGCCC. imaginary DNA molecule: 2 Write the base sequence for an mRNA strand that would be transcribed from the given DNA sequence. Place your results in the table below. 3. Use your codon table provided below to determine the sequence of amino acids in the resulting protein fragment. Place your results in the table below. 4. If the fifth base in the original DNA strand were changed from G to C, how would this affect the resulting protein fragment? Write the new protein fragment in the table below. 5. If G were added to the original DNA strand after the third base, what would the resulting mRNA look like? How would this addition affect the protein? Show your results in the table below. Data: mRNA from Step 2 Protein Sequence from Step 3 Protein Sequence from Step 4 mRNA from Step 5…
