A normal strand of DNA reads: 5'-AGTCAA-3'. If a mutation occurs that alters that DNA sequence to 5'-ACTCAA-3', that mutation could be characterized as a O a. Base substitution O b. Frameshift mutation O c. Point mutation O d. Both A&B O e. Both A & C
Consider this sequence below:  GAG TAC ACG AGT GGA Which of the following options is an example of a non-synonymous point mutation? (remember to translate to mRNA!) A. GAG TAC AAT CGA GTG GA B. GAG TAC ACG GGT GGA C. GAG TAC A–G AGT GGA D. GAG TAC ACG AGA GGA
-Write down the complementary DNA sequence. TACCTAGCG CACATGTAGGTGGGCAAAGTT -Write down the complementary mRNA sequence for each of the following DNA sequence. A: TACCTAGCGCACATGTAGGTGGGCAAAGTT B: TAC ATG GTT ACA GTC TAT TAG ATG CTA TTT ACT TAG -If the first G changes to A what kind of mutation will happen? Show the change in amino acid sequence. This is base substitutions involve the replacement of one nucleotide with another. And it changes one amino acid coding, producing a missense mutation TAC CTA GCA CAC ATGTAGGTGGGCAAAGTT TAC CTA ACACACATGTAGGTGGGCAAAGTT
